How can the "SPLEEN" become "ENLARGED"? Tues Apr 22nd

So, yesterday . . . we spoke about "what" the "SPLEEN" is . . . and what its "function" is . . .

So, today . . . let's talk about HOW the "spleen" can become ENLARGED!!!

And some reasons would be . . .

Blood cancers like . . . leukemia and Hodgkin's lymphoma

Blood clots in the spleen or the liver

Certain types of anemia

Cystic fibrosis

Infections like . . . mononucleosis, syphilis, malaria and endocarditis

Liver issues like . . . cirrhosis

Inherited metabolic disorders like . . . Gaucher disease

Inflammatory diseases like . . . sarcoidosis

Protein disorders like . . . amyloidosis

An accident or trauma that damages the spleen

Celiac disease

Sickle cell disease

Autoimmune diseases like . . . lupus or rheumatoid arthritis

Or a blood clot that blocks a vessel in the spleen

With symptoms of . . .

An increased heartrate

Nausea

Dizziness

Pain under the ribs on the left side.

Or Pain that spreads to the left shoulder

Now . . . those are all pretty major issues . . .

But, what if the "spleen" is just "AGGRAVATED" and NOT really damaged . . .

Is that a "possibilities"???

ABSOLUTELY!!!

And can you guess why this would happen???

Well my friends . . . AGAIN . . . it all comes back to this WESTERN DIET we love so much!!!

And tomorrow . . . we'll talk about that . . .
