Heinemann et al reported an equation for liver volume based on body surface area. This performs better in Caucasians compared to the equation of Urata et al. The authors are from University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf in Hamburg, Germany.
Patient selection: Caucasian
standard liver volume (SLV) in mL =
= (1072.8 * (body surface area in square m)) – 345.7
