What do you suggest if my dr is sending me for a calcified spleen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do What He Says: If your spleen is calcified it could be for many different reasons. These could be anything from old surgery, a previous infection, or a chronic calcifying disease. You may need a lot of tests to figure it out.
