“…The increase in PLT pools with the enlargement of spleen physiologically and the fact that PLTs are stored more in the spleen have been explained with the decrease in PLT count in the circulation [28]. On the other hand, in a study conducted on 24 individuals by Singh et al [15] and in a study conducted on 61 individuals by Vasconcellos et al [29], no correlation was reported between spleen volume and PLT level. We think that the reason why these researchers could not find a correlation was due to the fact that the study populations consisted of fewer individuals when compared with other studies.…”

“…The differences in the main reasons underlying splenomegaly cause the results to show differences [ 5 ]. There are some studies reporting a negative correlation between spleen volume and PLT count [ 10 , 15 , 29 , 30 ]. However, there are also studies which do not report a correlation between spleen volume and PLT count [ 12 , 14 ].…”

Considering its hematological and immunological functions, spleen is a very important organ. A change occurs in its size as the spleen performs these functions. This study aims to examine the possible relationships between spleen volume and the basic hemogram and biochemical parameters in serum. Multidetector computed tomography images and basic hemogram and biochemical parameters of 74 adult individuals, 34 male and 40 female, who were found to be healthy, were used in the study. Spleen volume was estimated using the Cavalieri method on multidetector computed tomography images and the correlations between the volume value with basic hemogram and biochemistry parameters were researched. While negative significant correlations were found between the estimated spleen volume and lymphocyte percentage (r=-0.224) and platelet level (r=-0.271); positive significant correlations were found between hemoglobin level (r=0.228), hematocrit level (r=0.237), alanine aminotransferase (r=0.345), and erythrocyte level (r=0.375). As a result of this study, a relationship was found between spleen volume and lymphocyte percentage, hematocrit level, erythrocyte level, platelet level, and alanine aminotransferase level in serum. We believe that the results of the study will provide a larger perspective to clinicians in the diagnosis of diseases associated with spleen.
