ORIGINAL PAPER Clinical Study on the Relationship Between Hematocytopenia and Splenomegaly Caused by Cirrhotic Portal Hypertension Yunfu Lv ? Xiaoguang Gong ? Xianhe Xie ? Baochun Wang ? Yijun Yang ? Yejuan Li Published online: 3 April 2014  Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 Abstract This clinical study was designed to evaluate the presence of hematocytopenia in patients with splenomeg- aly caused by non-alcoholic cirrhotic portal hypertension. For this purpose, we randomly selected 358 patients with splenomegaly caused by non-alcoholic cirrhotic portal hypertension and admitted to the clinical data in our hos- pital between January 1991 and June 2009. Among these 358 patients, 322 patients (90.0 %) showed hematocy- topenia, including multi-hemocyte decrease in 206 patients (i.e., 89 patients with a decrease in white blood cell count (WBC) ? red blood cell count (RBC) ? platelets count (PLT
