No: Iron deficiency and an enlarged spleen(splenomegaly) are not usually related. Did you have a CT scan? If so, why was it ordered? Are you having any symptoms of illness? Have you traveled overseas recently? What was the cause of your iron deficiency? Consider an online Health Tap INBOX Consultation. You would need to upload copies of your tests and be available to answer questions.
