The following are the most important diseases or complications that may be contributed to by splenic rupture (splenic rupture):
Blood, blood-forming organs – Immune system (D50-D90).
- Susceptibility to infection (due tocondition after splenectomy (after surgical removal of the spleen)).
- Thrombocytosis (pathological increase in blood platelets (thrombocytes)), passive/temporary occurrence (after surgical removal of the spleen)
Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).
- Pneumococcal infection (due tocondition after splenectomy (surgical removal of the spleen)).
- Postsplenectomy syndrome (OPSI syndrome, English overwhelming postsplenectomy infection syndrome) – foudroyant sepsis (blood poisoning) that can occur after splenectomy (1-5% of cases).
Circulatory system (I00-I99)
- Thromboembolism – sudden vascular occlusion due to a thrombus (blood clot) detached from the vessel wall (after surgical removal of the spleen).
Symptoms and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings not classified elsewhere (R00-R99)
- Intraabdominal hemorrhage (bleeding into the abdomen).
- Shock due to hypovolemia (volume deficiency shock; in this case, hemorrhagic shock)
Injuries, poisonings, and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T98).
- Injury to pancreatic tail, stomach, colon (large intestine) as intraoperative complications of splenectomy
