About This Test
PLCR (Platelet Large Cell Ratio) is a platelet parameter reported in advanced CBC analyzers.
It measures the percentage of large platelets (usually >12 fL) in the blood. Large platelets are younger, more active, and more functionally reactive than small platelets. PLCR helps in evaluation of Platelet Production vs Destruction, useful in dengue monitoring, cardiovascular risk monitoring.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
