Spleen removal: what it means
After the accident, Thiago had to undergo a spleen removal. On Cuestión de peso (El Trece), Alberto Cormillot explained in detail what it means to live without this organ and what care is required.
"Within the immune system, there is one you are born with and another you acquire," Cormillot said. "The immune system is made up of the lymph nodes, the appendix, the bone marrow, the thymus, Peyer's patches, and finally, the spleen. The spleen has a number of very useful functions, but they are not indispensable," he added.
Care after spleen removal
Dr. Levaggi explained that the spleen filters the blood and destroys viruses, bacteria, and toxins through macrophages and white blood cells. Although it is possible to live without it, those who lose it must take extra precautions in the event of fever or infections.
"The spleen produces antibodies that attack encapsulated germs. Without it, any symptom requires immediate medical attention," she explained.
