Summary

This study looks at whether removing only part of the spleen (instead of the whole spleen) can improve immune function in people with liver cirrhosis and an overactive spleen (hypersplenism). Researchers will measure blood markers of immunity and blood cell counts before and after surgery. About 30 adults with cirrhosis and enlarged spleens will take part.
