Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My baby is three months old. His spleen is 3.14 inches, and the required size, according to doctors, is 2.36 inches. I want to ask if it is harmful to him or if any serious medication is required.
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
Your child's spleen is mildly enlarged. For that, his CBC (complete blood count) and peripheral smear examination report can be done, which will rule out any hemolytic anemia disease, if present. If peripheral smear examination is suspicious of hemolysis, then serum LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) estimation and reticulocyte count can be done. So this blood report can be done for a primary workup.
Thank you.
