Differentiating Asplenia from other Diseases
The differential diagnosis of asplenia includes hyposplenia. Hyposplenia shares many of the clinical features as asplenia and may precede further functional decline or autosplenectomy. Hyposplenia may be reversible if the underlying condition is treated which is not in the case of asplenia.[1]
