ICD-Code
Your spleen is not getting enough blood. Your spleen will be badly damaged as a result.
The spleen is in the upper left corner of the abdomen. Old blood cells are broken down in the spleen. Defense cells are also stored. When the immune cells are needed, they are released from the spleen into the blood.
There are several causes that lead to this condition. The blood vessels may not bring enough blood to the spleen. It is also possible that the blood is not properly evacuated from the spleen. This can happen, for example, if a blood clot clogs the blood vessels. It is also possible that your spleen is torn. This can cause it to bleed into or around the spleen. Your spleen may have turned. This can squeeze the blood vessels around the spleen. In this case, the spleen is also supplied with too little blood. You are likely to have severe abdominal pain because your spleen is not getting proper blood supply. The pain can extend all over the left abdomen and radiate into the left shoulder. The pain can occur especially when you take a breath.
