Chandramohan et al reported equations for estimating the standard liver volume of an Indian patient. The authors are from the Christian Medical College in Vellore.
Patient selection: Indian patient from 10 to 70 years
Parameters:
(1) body surface area (BSA) in square meters using Mosteller's equation
(2) body weight in kilograms
standard liver volume in mL =
= (186 * (BSA)) + (11.4 * (weight)) + 243
standard liver volume in mL =
= (14.24 * (body weight)) + 375.23
standard liver volume in mL =
= (874.461* (BSA)) - 204.092
