| Patients with evidence of hypersplenism and those having gastric fundal varices were not included in the study. |
|
| Plasma volume expansion and consequent dilution of the circulating cells is the major factor in producing anaemia in hypersplenism. |
|
| Excessive blood cell destruction caused by increased spleen function is important evidence of hypersplenism. |
|
| During an examination for in situ uterine cervical cancer, splenomegaly and hypersplenism were incidentally found. |
|
| Splenic sarcoidosis may cause hypersplenism resulting in anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, or any combination including pancytopenia. |
|
| The megakaryocytes in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, a form of hypersplenism. |
|
| Portal hypertension and thrombocytopenias related with hypersplenism gradually improve in the first year. |
|
| Bleeding in liver disease is common and usually attributable to coagulation factor deficiencies and thrombocytopenia due to hypersplenism. |
|
| Studies showed a low WBC with predominant lymphocytes, a low platelet count, and a falling hemoglobin level, all attributed to hypersplenism. |
|
| The leucopaenia of hypersplenism is predominantly due to an absolute reduction in total circulating neutrophils by increased margination within the splenic vasculature. |
|
| This study was designed to investigate the activation type of splenic macrophages in cirrhotic patients with hypersplenism and HBV infection to assess the immune function of splenic macrophages. |
|
| This study evaluates the usefulness of erythrocyte creatine as a sensitive marker of excessive erythrocyte destruction due to hypersplenism in patients with liver cirrhosis. |
|
| The thrombocytopaenia in hypersplenism is due to destruction of antibody-coated platelets exhibiting malaria antigens on their surface and to sequestration within the substance of the spleen. |
|
| Hypersplenism can also cause thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. |
