TAILIEUCHUNG - Chapter 060. Enlargement of Lymph Nodes and Spleen (Part 7)

Differential Diagnosis Many of the diseases associated with splenomegaly are listed in Table 60-2. They are grouped according to the presumed basic mechanisms responsible for organ enlargement: 1. Hyperplasia or hypertrophy related to a particular splenic function such as reticuloendothelial hyperplasia (work hypertrophy) in diseases such as hereditary spherocytosis or thalassemia syndromes that require removal of large numbers of defective red blood cells; immune hyperplasia in response to systemic infection (infectious mononucleosis, subacute bacterial endocarditis) or to immunologic diseases (immune thrombocytopenia, SLE, Felty's syndrome). 2. Passive congestion due to decreased blood flow from the spleen in conditions that produce portal hypertension (cirrhosis, BuddChiari syndrome, congestive heart. | Chapter 060.
