==Overview==
The causes of splenomegaly vary widely and range from increased splenic function (such as [[hemoglobinopathies]]), splenic congestion due to abnormal blood flow (such as venous obstruction), and splenic infiltration (such as storage disorders and [[malignancies]]).

Template:Splenomegaly Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Venkata Sivakrishna Kumar Pulivarthi M.B.B.S [2]

Overview

The causes of splenomegaly vary widely and range from increased splenic function (such as hemoglobinopathies), splenic congestion due to abnormal blood flow (such as venous obstruction), and splenic infiltration (such as storage disorders and malignancies).

Causes

Common Causes

Less Common Causes [1]

Rickets

Causes by Pathogenesis

Mechanism Pathogenesis Example
Increased function Removal of defective RBCs
Immune hyperplasia Response to infection (viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic)
Disordered immunoregulation
Drug reactions
Extramedullary hematopoiesis
Abnormal blood flow Organ Failure
Vascular
Infections
Infiltration Metabolic diseases
