Article Synopsis
- Studies indicate that splenic volume (SV) might be decreased in conditions like celiac disease (CD), refractory CD type II (RCD II), and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL).
- The research involved a large cohort of 77 CD patients, 29 RCD II patients, 24 EATL patients, and 149 healthy controls, assessing SV using CT scans.
- Results show that SV is significantly larger in uncomplicated CD patients compared to controls, while RCD II patients have a notably smaller SV, which may reflect their immune-compromised status.
