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.
A spleen is normally about the size of a fist. A doctor usually can't feel it during an examination, but diseases can cause it to swell and become many times its normal size. Because the spleen is involved in many functions, many conditions may affect it. An enlarged spleen is not always a sign of a problem. When a spleen becomes enlarged, though, it often means it has been doing its job but has become overactive. For example, sometimes the spleen is overactive in removing and destroying blood cells.
