DOI: 10.1016/j.advms.2022.02.005
Abstract: PURPOSE Portal hypertension (PH)-associated splenomegaly is caused by portal venous congestion and splanchnic hyperemia. This can trigger hypersplenism, which favors the development of cytopenia. We investigated the time-dependent impact of splenectomy on portal pressure and… read more here.
