2 Role of spleen Spleen consists of red pulp which is rich in red blood cells and white pulp which consists of organized lymphocytes and phagocytes Spleen and lymph nodes: secondary lymphoid organs Macrophages: removal of opsonized microbes from the bloodstream Production of some complement factors like properdin Production of specific opsonizing antibodies essential for activity of all phagocytic cells (granulocytes, monocytes, macrophages) JV
3 Long-term risks after splenectomy Spleen is a rediculoendothelial organ with important haemological and immunological functions including clearance of encapsulated bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae type b) and intraerythrocytic parasites (Plasmodium spp, Babesia spp. ) from the blood and generation of immune responses to certain pathogens (risk = 0,23 0,43% annually, cumulative lifetime risk = 5%) Other adverse outcomes after splenectomy = thrombosis and cancer (platelet activation, thrombocytosis, disturbance endothelium, altered lipid profile).
