In adult male with chronic elevation in antiphosphlipid antibodies but no clotting event, is splenomegaly & fluctuating thromocytopenia common?

Thrombocytopenia yes: Thrombocytopenia is not uncommon and this can be improved by aspirin. The spleen may suggest somthing else and I would recommend an evalution on this to becertain.Your physician can better put this into perspective
