description

In patients with diseases of the liver portal hypertension and cellular proliferation produce reactive changes in the spleen. The size of the spleen and its function as a filter were determined quantitatively with isotope-labeled, heat-induced spherocytes. In 96% of the investigated liver diseases (acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and steatosis of the liver) either the size or the filter function of the organ are altered, frequently both of them.
