ICYMI, a reminder that this pandemic will have a lasting legacy beyond the tragedy of the countless lost lives and grieving families. Results from the #COVERSCAN study on #longcovid reports that organ impairment was detected in post COVID patients as shown in the figure below 
This included damage to the #heart, #lungs, #kidneys, #liver, #pancreas and #spleen In almost a third of patients, damage in 2 or more organs was identified. In particular, damage to the liver, heart or lungs was associated with further organ impairment.
The participants in this study were all considered to be previously at low risk of #mortality and had no #comorbidities. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/3/eβ¦

For patients with #cirrhosis without #liver failure, we believe in early and aggressive #treatment for #portal hypertension (increased liver pressure) with #TIPS and also knockout all big parasitic #shunts (done here with a plug) 1/3

In due course, we see the #spleen size reduce, as portal #hypertension comes under #control

#HematologyTweetstory 17 is about el bazo, die Milz, ΡΠ΅Π»Π΅Π·Π΅Π½ΠΊΠ°, ΰ€€ΰ€Ώΰ€²ΰ₯ΰ€²ΰ₯ - whichever name you use for the mysterious organ that in English is the spleen. Ask the proverbial man on the street, βWhat does the spleen do?β; he wonβt know. (Image: Gray's Anatomy; the book, not TV show.)
The function of most organs was obvious to the ancients based on orifices: heart, stomach, bladder, etc. But the #spleen? Not so much. #Galen was so puzzled that he called it the organ full of mysteries, "mysterii pleni organon". Plato thought it kept the liver bright & shiny./2
βThe viola is like the spleen. We have one, but no one knows why, or what itβs doing there.β - Harry Rumpler, violist for the Roussel Trio circa 1940 [Insert your favorite viola joke here... or don't; violists have suffered enough from such jabs.] /3
