The main goal of this study is to evaluate the spleen of long standing hemodialysis patients by using ultrasound apparatus, with a probe of 3.5 MHz frequency. The study was done on 100 cases under regular hemodialysis for 3 years or more. The study showed that there was an increasing in spleen length, width and thickness comparing with normal range. Therefore the volume of spleen increased comparing with normal range. The measurement of the splenic parameters (length, thickness and volume) reported that they were increasing when age increased.
