Hyposplenism: a comprehensive review. Part II: clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management
Abstract
In the first part of this review, we described the physiological basis of splenic function and hypofunction. We also described the wide spectrum of diseases that can result in functional hyposplenism. In the second part of this review, we will be discussing the clinical picture, including complications, diagnostic methods, and management of hyposplenism.
