FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: after the ablation of the spleen, its weight is determined, the average area of a marginal zone of the spleen in histological cuts with coloration with hematoxylin and eosin is measured morphometrically. The obtained values are used to calculate the weight of the marginal zone and, if its values are ≤1.9 g, a favourable prognosis for the course of aplastic anaemia is made, if its value is >1.9 g, an unfavourable course of the disease is predicted.
EFFECT: prognosis of the aplastic anaemia course after splenectomy independent on the severity of the disease with the possibility to approach therapeutic treatment in a differential way.
