Spleen conditions can be referred to as either diseases or disorders, depending on the context. Generally, a "disease" implies a specific pathological condition with identifiable causes and symptoms, while a "disorder" might refer more broadly to any functional abnormality. Examples include conditions like splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) or hypersplenism (overactive spleen), which could be classified as disorders. Ultimately, the terminology used may vary based on the specific condition being discussed.
The recessive disorder you are referring to is likely Niemann-Pick disease, which results from the absence of an enzyme called acid sphingomyelinase. This enzyme is essential for breaking down lipids, leading to lipid accumulation in cells and tissues, particularly in the brain and spleen. Symptoms of Niemann-Pick disease can include neurological problems, enlarged liver and spleen, and respiratory difficulties.
Spleen
A spleen disorder is quite dangerous as it takes away the immunity of the person which then makes them very vulnerable to infection and means that they will have to take special medications for the rest of their lives to accommodate this.
If the disease affects the splenic artery or vein, the spleen is also removed.
