MORPHOFUNCTIONAL CHANGES OF THE SPLEEN IN CIRRHOSIS OF THE LIVER: LITERATURE REVIEW
Abstract
Liver cirrhosis is one of the most common chronic liver diseases, leading to significant morphofunctional changes in the body. One of the key organs undergoing secondary alterations in cirrhosis is the spleen. This article presents a literature review on the morphological and functional changes in the spleen associated with liver cirrhosis. The pathogenesis of splenomegaly, microcirculatory changes, and the impact of portal hypertension on the spleen’s condition are discussed. Modern diagnostic methods and possibilities for correcting these changes are analyzed.
