Are There Toxicological Concerns Post-Splenectomy?
Yes, there are several toxicological concerns to consider after a splenectomy. Individuals may experience increased vulnerability to certain toxins due to compromised immune responses. Additionally, the removal of the spleen can lead to hematological changes, such as increased platelet counts, which may affect how toxins or drugs that influence blood clotting are managed. Monitoring and adjusting medication dosages may be necessary to avoid toxicity.
