Blood viscosity after splenectomy.
Blood viscosity and its contributory factors--namely, plasma viscosity, fibrinogen concentration, packed cell volume, red-cell deformability, and platelet count--were measured in 20 asymptomatic patients after splenectomy and compared with those in controls.

Circulating immune complexes were evaluated in 25 patients (age range 10 to 46 years) who had undergone splenectomy for non-malignant conditions by studying a polyethylene glycol insoluble serum fraction. Although the extent of binding to Clq was within normal limits, these patients had increased concentrations of factor B in the immune complex serum fraction. These findings indicate that an un...
متن کاملPortal Vein Thrombosis after Splenectomy

One of the most important complications is the portal vein thrombosis (PVT), which may be fatal due to development of bowel ischemia and severe portal hypertension. Due to the effect of hypobaric hypoxia and higher liability for thrombosis encountered in high altitude...
متن کاملVascular complications after splenectomy for hematologic disorders.
The most widely recognized long-term risk of splenectomy is overwhelming bacterial infection. More recently, thrombosis has become appreciated as another potential complication of the procedure. Because of these long-term risks, the indications for and timing of splenectomy are debated in the medical community. Accordingly, the adverse effects and benefits of splenectomy for hematologic disorde...
