Ultrasonographic Splenic Indices Among Paediatric and Adults with Sickle Cell Disease in Nigeria

2023-02-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Ultrasonography is an established and reliable method for assessing the spleen. Because of variation due to genetic and other environmental factors including malaria endemicity, interpretation of splenic sizes requires a knowledge of the normal reference range for a given population. The aim of this study was to determine spleen size in different age groups among healthy people in North-Eastern...
