Abstract

Background: Functional hyposplenism is a recognized complication of several gastroenterological disorders, including coeliac and inflammatory bowel diseases, and is believed to contribute to the increased infection risk seen in these disorders.

Summary: The mechanisms of hyposplenism are poorly understood. In this article, we review possible mechanisms underlying development of functional hyposplenism and discuss implications for its management.

Key Messages: Identifying functional hyposplenism is important, as it may permit earlier recognition and treatment of serious infections through patient education and vaccination.
