immune system
splenomegaly is a condition of the spleen causing it to be enlarged. the splenic condition involving felty syndrome is more specifically noted as "inflammatory" splenomegaly. the spleen is an important lymphatic organ that is involved in filtration of the blood by discarding old and damaged red blood cells as well as maintaining platelet levels. the spleen is a lymphatic organ, which means it is largely involved in the immune system and immune responses. when the spleen becomes enlarged, it is a strong sign of infection somewhere in the body, and can be caused by inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. the increased need for production assistance of white blood cells to affected areas causes hyperfunction of the spleen. this increase in defense activities ultimately causes hypertrophy of the spleen, leading to splenomegaly. the spleen is found in the left upper quadrant (luq) of the peritoneal cavity and due to its enlargement, can cause stress on neighboring organs.
