[Effect of splenectomy on the dynamics of allergic symptoms and the level of IgE in the complex treatment of children with liver cirrhosis].
Overall 21 children suffering from active liver cirrhosis were examined for the dynamics of allergic symptoms and IgE before and after splenectomy. The IgE level was measured 2-4 weeks, 3-11 months and 1-5 years after splenectomy. All the children received glucocorticosteroid therapy followed by the administration of maintenance therapy. It has been shown that splenectomy as one of the pathogenetic forms of therapy of active liver cirrhosis produces a decrease in blood IgE and in the incidence of allergic manifestations in addition to the clinical effect and amelioration of liver function.
