DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Splenomegaly leads to increased platelet storage in the spleen and thus to the withdrawal of thrombocytes from the circulating pool. Up to 90% of the thrombocytes produced can be sequestered in the spleen. The thrombocytes have a normal survival time, the number of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow is not increased.
