Question 1

is dark urine a sign of ruptured spleen with mono?

Accepted Answer

NO: The darker urine is likely due to bilirubin from the liver also being bothered by the mono.  If you have not already seen a physician and had blood work done, you should do that.  Make sure to drink lots of water.  If the spleen ruptures, it is life threatening due to severe bleeding in the abdomen.

Non operative/ surgi: Up to 90% of ruptured spleen can be manger nonoperatively.  In certain situation were persistent bleeding or risk of future recurrent bleeding, a surgical splenectomy will be advised/ inevitable.

Question 3

Question 5

Internal bleeding: A ruptured spleen can have a variable degree of injury. The spleen damage may be minor and heal on its own, or may be a major injury with significant life threatening internal bleeding that needs emergency surgery to remove the spleen.

Question 6

how long can you survive with a ruptured spleen?

Accepted Answer

Age and degree: The youngest patient's have the best shot at keeping their spleen without bleeding to death.  The degree of rupture will determine how much blood is lost internally.  If a patient can be stabilized without an excess of transfusions, splenectomy may not be needed.  Other risk factors, i.e. The general health of the patient will also play a role.  No pat answer...

Question 9

is it possible to have a ruptured spleen so mild that you live 3-4 years without knowing it?

Accepted Answer

Yes: ruptured spleen comes in various grades from mild to severe. Most mild to moderate stages are managed with bed rest and observation. A mild grade one could go unnoticed and therefore untreated.

Question 10

can a ruptured spleen cause sudden death?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The spleen is a organ that filters and recycles old red blood cells and may trap some white blood cells. Because it is full of blood cells, if it ruptures, it can result in massive internal bleeding and is an emergent situation to be seen in er and may need surgery to stop bleeding or repair or remove spleen.
