Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 The spleen works as a filtering system for the body like the tonsils. Your mother's spleen is filtering the plattlets from her body. By removing the spleen her platlette count should increase but it will also make her less able to fight infections. My best to Jody, the flare up could be caused by a number of things. Mine was stress. My LFT's have never gone anywhere near the normal range but I only take pred 5mg every other day. Imuran has never been discussed. My hep usually does the blood work after the appt and I have to ask for a copy because they never call to tell me what they were.
