Um et al reported equations for estimating the standard liver volume of a Korean adult. The authors are from the University of Ulsan in Seoul.
Patient selection: Korean adult ( ages 16 to 59)
Parameters:
(1) height in centimeters
(2) body weight in kilograms
(3) body surface area in square meters by the method of DuBois and DuBois
(4) body surface area in square meters by the method of Mosteller
standard liver volume in mL =
= (908.204 * (BSA DuBois)) - 464.728
= (893.485 * (BSA Mosteller)) - 439.169
