title: [Pathological classification of splenomegaly in portal hypertension].
abstract: The morphometric analysis was carried out for 150 cases splenomegaly pathological sections (1010 sections) after being stained with histochemical, immunohistochemical, hematoxylin and eosin methods, summarizing that the proliferation of three types of fibers, the number and distribution of T, B lymphocytes and macrophages, the changes of sections stained with HE, the ultrastructure of splenomegaly under electron microscope would be the criteria for partially preserving splenomegaly. The data of morphometry was treated by IBM/PC computer. The research was aimed to establish a pathological indication for preserving partial splenomegaly clinically. The study demonstrated that the pathological classification, based on the fibrosis degree of splenomegaly, may objectively reflect the changes of immunological function of splenomegaly, by which it was also revealed that the immunological function in pathological class II and III was markedly lowered. Because the proportion of class I splenomegaly remained only in 31% of good function, there are less splenomegaly worth preserving.
