Spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) demonstrated strong predictive accuracy for liver decompensation in patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD), with an optimal cutoff of 50 ...

While liver stiffness measurement by vibration-controlled transient elastography with a 25 kPa threshold might detect CSPH, the overall low quality of the studies means that these results are not very ...

A recent study found that higher spleen volume before undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was associated with worse overall survival and higher nonrelapse mortality ...

Background Splenomegaly is common in infectious mononucleosis (IM) and splenic rupture during the return-to-play process is a known complication. 1 Because IM has a variable disease course, safe ...

Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) is common in people with cirrhosis. It can be caused by many factors, including an enlarged spleen and decreased platelet production. Severe thrombocytopenia can ...

We typically think of using ultrasound to take pictures of our organs and tissues to check if they are healthy. But a slight tweak to the tool might lead to treatments for certain diseases, scientists ...
