[|Human|] My mother has been in hospital for 16 days. She is 83 and was taken in because her calcium levels were very high. She has an enlarged spleen . All cancer investigations have been negative but she is still on a drip to reduce her calcium levels. They are now talking about removing her spleen. What could the diagnosis be?
[|AI|]  Thanks for the query. I think that you misunderstood something. Usually spleen disorder is not related to calcium levels and only rarely the spleen can because of high ca. More commonly spleen is removed to hematologic or malignant diseases, so they probably assume that there are some of these diseases. Spleen removal is not having some effect on calcium levels. She probably has enlarged spleen or hemolytic anemia so consult your doctors again about indications for surgeryWish you good health. Feel free to ask. Regards
