Overview
Common risk factors include: Trauma; atraumatic indication for splenectomy includes: hematological autoimmune disorder, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA); Surgery includes: unexplained splenomegaly, autoimmune, malignant. Less Common Risk Factors include: mutation in gene RPSA and human genes, connexin 43 and ZIC3.
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of asplenia include:
- Trauma [1]
- Atraumatic indication for splenectomy includes:[2]
- Surgery
- Unexplained splenomegaly
- Autoimmune diseases
- Malignancy
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factor include:
- Mutations in the gene RPSA, is a risk factor for Isolated asplenia.[3]
- Two human genes, connexin 43 and ZIC3, is a risk factor for heterotaxy syndrome.[4]
