The Kazakh steppeland, north of the Tien Shan Mountains, south of Russian Siberia, west of the Caspian Sea, and east of China, has been inhabited since the Stone Age. It is a land rich in natural resources, with recent oil discoveries putting it among the world leaders in potential oil reserves.
Had the US last Thursday and already got the report. The Liver Is 18 cm. just a little smaller. The Spleen is 20.5 cm. so it grew just a little from 6 mos. ago. So I got curious about how big a Spleen can get before it ruptures, so I looked it up and there really is a record. Apparently the largest one removed from a person was 37 cm. and over 20 lbs., what a monster. The guy called it Spleenzilla. LOL. So I guess a spleen can get really huge before it ruptures.
The spleen is part of your lymphatic system, which fights infection and keeps your body fluids in balance. It contains white blood cells that fight germs. Your spleen also helps control the amount of blood in your body, and destroys old and damaged cells. Certain diseases might cause your spleen to swell. You can also damage or rupture your spleen in an injury, especially if it is already swollen. If your spleen is too damaged, you might need surgery to remove it. You can live without a spleen. Other organs, such as your liver, will take over some of the spleen's work.
