matters needing attention
The main treatment is splenectomy. Splenectomy has advantages and can correct the harm of splenomegaly to human body, but this method also has shortcomings. After total splenectomy, the immune function of the patients will be changed, the filtration function of the spleen will disappear, the levels of IgM, regulatin and opsonin will be reduced, the T lymphocyte system will be disordered, the number of peripheral blood lymphocytes and lymphocyte transformation rate will be significantly reduced, leading to a significant increase in the chance of fulminant infection, such as dangerous pneumonia. For patients with poor liver function, ascites, low protein and hematemesis, splenectomy should be considered comprehensively.
