[|Human|] I am wondering what might be causing my enlarged spleen? A CT scan that was done because of kidney stones indicated splenomegaly. Is it just a symptom of these known diagnoses or is it something I should press my doctors to pursue further? I am a 54yr old female diagnosed with the following: diabetes, sjogrens, crohns, hx. ulcers ,delayed gastric emptying, esophageal spasms, nutcracker esophagus, benign thyroid tumor, asthma, sleep apnea, degenerative disc, cervical fusions x3, fibromyalgia, lumbar spine fractures, kidney stones, lymphedema, migraines, major depression, post traumatic stress, fatigue. e-mail YYYY@YYYY
[|AI|]  HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor Splenomegaly is usually associated with increased workload, which suggests that it is a response to hyperfunction. It is therefore not surprising that splenomegaly is associated with any disease process that involves abnormal red blood cells being destroyed in the spleen. May be due to esophageal spasms or kidney stones, blood cells have been destroyed and to compensate that lost, spleen is enlarged. Thanks
