Study summary

Primary Objective:

To estimate the prevalence of Gaucher disease and of other etiologies, in patients of 15 years old or more presenting with unexplained splenomegaly after exclusion of first intention-diagnoses (e.g. portal hypertension, diagnosis or suspicion of haematological malignancy, haemolytic anemia) based on basic physical and biological exams (e.g. full blood count, liver enzymes, reticulocytes)

Secondary Objective:

To describe the exams and tests conducted for diagnosis purpose and the more frequent associations

Study duration per participant is between 1 and 12 months

Study population

Participants of 15 years old or more presenting with unexplained splenomegaly after exclusion of first intention-diagnoses (e.g. portal hypertension, diagnosis or suspicion of haematological malignancy, haemolytic anemia) based on basic physical and biological exams

Inclusion criteria

  • Participants referred for the first time for splenomegaly exploration defined as :

    • Either a palpable mass on left upper abdominal quadrant, further confirmed by a ≥ 13 cm craniocaudal length on abdominal Imaging
    • Or a non palpable splenomegaly discovered on abdominal imaging and with a craniocaudal length ≥ 13 cm
  • Participants with splenomegaly (as defined above) of unknown origin

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria:

  • Participants with obvious diagnostics based on clinical exam, patient's interview and the previous initial routine biological tests :

    • Diagnosis of portal hypertension
    • Diagnosis of hemolytic anemia
    • Diagnosis of hematological malignancy
    • Known diagnosis of Gaucher Disease

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of patients diagnosed with Gaucher disease in the included population of patients with unexplained splenomegaly

    The diagnosis of Gaucher Disease is based on a value of beta-glucosidase enzyme activity

    Time frame: between 1 and 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of patients with other than Gaucher disease-etiologies in the included population

    These will be any etiology among all the diseases that can be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained splenomegaly, e.g.: infection, haematological, congestive, inflammatory, neoplastic, infiltrative, benign tumors, immune, iron deficiencies and other miscellaneous rare causes

    Time frame: between 1 and 12 months

  2. Number of participants by type of exams and tests conducted for diagnosis purpose

    Relevant exams and tests performed, in each site, for the participant diagnosis other than Gaucher disease will be reported , this may include dried blood spot, medullary biopsy, imaging exploration

    Time frame: between 1 and 12 months
