Hypersplenism is the most common splenic disease and usually refers to a clinical syndrome of increased splenic size and/or cytopenia due to various causes. Hypersplenism is most often secondary to cirrhotic hypertension. Liver transplantation can effectively relieve hypersplenism in patients with liver cirrhosis, but there are also some patients with persistent hypersplenism after liver transplantation or recurrence after remission. Other treatment modalities for postoperative intractable hypersplenism include splenectomy and partial splenic artery embolization. This article reviews the research progress of hypersplenism after liver transplantation for liver cirrhosis with hypersplenism.
