Splenic-liver syndrome

Splenic-Liver Syndrome refers to a group of symptoms of splenomegaly, anemia, and cirrhosis, also known as thrombophlebitis splenomegaly syndrome, splenic anemia, congestive splenomegaly syndrome, chronic congestive Splenomegaly, liver and spleen fibrosis, and fibrotic congestive splenomegaly syndrome. The first year of 1883 was described by Banti, so it is also called Banti syndrome. At that time, the spleen was considered to be the primary site of the disease, and according to clinical symptoms, the spleen was divided into an anemia phase, a transition phase, and a terminal liver cirrhosis phase. Many scholars have subsequently opposed Banti disease as an independent disease. At present, the disease is believed to be caused by portal vein, splenic vein thrombosis and occlusive or cirrhosis due to repeated inflammation of the portal vein. Therefore, it is often advocated to discard this diagnostic name.
