Recent findings from a study on COVID-19 patients revealed a significant negative correlation between serum vitamin D levels and mean platelet volume (MPV). This growing body of evidence suggests that low vitamin D can cause high mean platelet volume by influencing inflammation and platelet production pathways.

However, the impact of prolonged fasting can be more complex, causing fluctuations in specific protein fractions. Understanding if and how fasting can increase globulin is key to interpreting blood test results accurately.
