Enlarged Spleen or Splenomegaly: The spleen is located in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen, just beneath the diaphragm and next to the stomach. It has a very rich blood supply since it is responsible for filtering blood, and it is protected by the 9th, 10th, and 11th ribs. Normally, it is the size of an orange or a small fist.

Size:
An easy way to remember the actual size of the spleen is:
The rule for the weight of the spleen:
1×3×5×7×9×11
An adult spleen measures around by 1-5 inches.
Its weight is about 7 oz.
The location of the spleen is the 9th and 11th ribs.

Spleen has a variety of responsibilities, such as:

  • It is a major blood filter, it helps remove old and damaged red blood cells and bacteria.
  • It is part of the lymphatic system and produces lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell that is a part of the immune system that helps to prevent and fight infection).
  • It acts as a reservoir for red blood cells and platelets, should the body need them.

The spleen has two types of tissue; the red pulp is responsible for filtering blood, while the white pulp is responsible for its immune function.

An enlarged spleen is not normal and occurs because of another underlying disease. Signs of an enlarged spleen do not cause symptoms and usually are caused by an underlying illness, for example:

Examples of signs and symptoms caused by an illness, which results in an enlarged spleen may include:

Signs and symptoms of an enlarged spleen usually do not occur, but some patients may have:

    • Indigestion and a feeling of fullness because the enlarged spleen can compress the stomach,
    • Hiccups because of diaphragm irritation
    • Pain in the upper abdomen that may radiate to the back or shoulder blade.

Symptoms of Enlarged Spleen or Splenomegaly

Symptoms you may experience with an enlarged spleen include:enlarged-spleen-splenomegaly-dr-qaisar-ahmed-dixe-cosmetics

  • pressure or pain in the left upper part of your abdomen (near the stomach),
  • feeling full without eating a large meal,
  • Pain in left shoulder blade or shoulder area when taking a deep breath.
  • Because of its location, should it enlarge, the spleen can irritate the diaphragm and cause hiccups and perhaps some pain in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen.
  • Because of its location adjacent to the diaphragm, pain from the spleen may radiate to the back and be felt in the shoulder blade.
  • If the enlarged spleen compresses the stomach, the patient may feel full after eating a small amount, and therefore are unable to eat large meals.

Examples of illnesses that cause signs and symptoms may include:

  • Anemia, which causes symptoms that include:
    • Weakness
    • Fatigue
    • Shortness of breath
  • Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) due to spontaneously bleeding. Signs and symptoms of a low platelet count include
    • Fatigue,
    • Excessive bleeding
    • Prolonged bleeding from cuts
    • Spontaneous bleeding from the gums or nose
    • Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
  • Liver disease (cirrhosis), which causes symptoms and signs that may include:

Ineffective white blood cell function may cause infections more often for example:

  • Heavy periods (menstrual) that are unusual.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT, blood clot in the leg)
  • Bleeding that will not stop.

What causes an Enlarged Spleen or Splenomegaly?

Blood disorders

The spleen will enlarge when it performs more of its duties to filter blood or manufacture blood cells. Therefore, any disease or condition that damages red blood cells, and requires them to be filtered and removed from the bloodstream, will cause the spleen to become larger.

Conditions such as hemolytic anemia, where red blood cells are damaged and broken down (hemolyzed) can cause the spleen to enlarge. Misshapen red blood cells, like those found in sickle cell diseasethalassemia, and spherocytosis, may be damaged when they try to squeeze through small capillary blood vessels. These damaged red blood cells need to be culled from the bloodstream and are filtered out by the spleen.

Decreased blood flow

The spleen will enlarge if there is a decrease in blood flow through the splenic vein. This may cause spleen congestion and enlargement. This situation may be associated with liver disease and portal hypertension. Damage to liver cells makes it difficult for blood to flow normally, and as blood backs up in the portal vein system, it may affect the pressure in the splenic vein. The decreased ability of blood to drain from the spleen causes it to become congested and grow larger. People with congestive heart failure may have an enlarged liver and spleen because of poor blood flow to and from the heart.

Cancer

Leukemia and lymphoma may be associated with abnormal white cells that can invade the spleen and increase its size.

Other cancers can spread or metastasize to the spleen and cause it to enlarge.

Metabolic diseases

Certain metabolic diseases may cause the spleen to enlarge, including HurlerMetabolic-Disorders-dixe-cosmetics Syndrome, Gaucher disease, and Niemann-Pick Disease.

In sarcoidosis and amyloidosis, the spleen can be involved and become enlarged with abnormal protein deposits.

Infection

Some infections may cause splenomegaly including:

Trauma

Trauma, for example, from an accident, can damage the spleen.

Diagnosis

An enlarged Spleen (Splenomegaly) is most often found on physical examination or it is found incidentally when initially examining a patient (and it then serves as a clue to an underlying diagnosis), With its location protected beneath the left lower ribs, a normal spleen is usually not felt on physical exam, except in some unusually thin individuals. As it enlarges, the spleen grows from the left upper quadrant of the abdomen towards the umbilicus. Sometimes the doctor will ask the patient to roll on their right side to better attempt to feel the spleen.

Tests required for enlarged spleen (splenomegaly) are X-rays, CT scan, MRI, or ultrasound.

Treatment of Enlarged Spleen or Splenomegaly

Treatment for an enlarged spleen is directed to the care of the underlying condition.

An enlarged Spleen (Splenomegaly) can be prevented by preventing the underlying illness as best as possible. An enlarged spleen is at risk for damage when it grows beyond the protection given to it by the lower ribs. Activity may need to be restricted to prevent any trauma or damage to the spleen.

The prognosis of someone with an enlarged spleen depends upon the underlying condition and its method of treatment.

Allopathic Treatment

Because splenomegaly is due to an underlying illness, treatment will depend upon the primary cause. In some situations, removal of the spleen (splenectomy) may be part of the treatment. For example, in hereditary spherocytosis (a condition in which red blood cells are abnormal and shaped like a sphere instead of the concave disk shape).

These abnormal red blood cells are filtered from the bloodstream, which causes anemia and an enlarged spleen. Splenectomy limits the number of red blood cells destroyed and helps treat the disease but without spleen many other diseases make nest in that patient.

Spleen injuries are oftenA young couple kisses, and a boy sneezes, spraying germ droplets. treated by observation, but on occasion, the spleen can rupture causing life-threatening internal bleeding requiring surgery to remove the spleen. This is the reason that teenagers and young adults diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis (kissing disease) need to wait until the spleen returns to its normal size, and is protected by the rib cage, before participating in activities where the enlarged spleen could be damaged.

All types of blood cells may become trapped in a large spleen and cause anemia (low red blood cell count which may cause…weakness, fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain etc).

Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) may be associated with an increased risk of bleeding.

Leukopenia (low white blood cell count) may be associated with an increased risk of infection.
