Yoshizumi et al reported an equation for liver weight based on body surface area. This was developed from data provided by both pediatric and adult patients.. The authors are from Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City..
Patient selection: pediatric and adult
Parameter: body surface area (BSA) in square meters
BSA
Liver Weight in Grams
<= 1.0 sq m
(772 * (BSA)) – 38
> 1.0 sq m
(772 * (BSA))
The density of the liver is approximately 1.060.
volume in mL =
= (weight in grams) / 1.060
