New Findings: What is the central question of this study? What is the relative contribution of a putative tonic splenic contraction to the haematological acclimatization process during high altitude ascent in native lowlanders? What is the main finding and its importance? Spleen volume decreased by -14.3% (-15.2 ml) per 1000 m ascent, with an attenuated apnoea-induced [Hb] increase, attesting to a tonic splenic contraction during high altitude ascent.
