Detailed explanation-1: -cases of acquired hemolytic anemia splenectomy will remove the major site of red cell destruction and in turn increase the hemoglobin concentration and abolish the need for an accelerated rate of red cell production.
Detailed explanation-2: -After splenectomy, other organs in your body take over most of the functions previously performed by your spleen. You can be active without a spleen, but you’re at increased risk of becoming sick or getting serious infections. This risk is highest shortly after surgery.
Detailed explanation-3: -Platelet counts after splenectomy have been reported to increase 30% to 100%, with a peak reached at 7 to 20 days postoperatively (3). Common complications of thrombocytosis include thrombosis and hemorrhage.
