Re: Benefits to Splenectomy

I think the whole point of this horomone is to increase the life span of these cells so we are not being transfused as often. We would be able to maintain a higher hemoglobin. For example, I was maintaning a HB of 10 post transfusion time (I was going every 5 weeks). Now I can barely make it 4 weeks to a transfusion and my HB at that time is 8.
