New formula for predicting standard liver volume in Chinese adults
AIM To obtain a reference range of morphological indices and establish a formula to accurately predict standard liver volume (SLV) in Chinese adults. METHODS Computed tomography (CT)-estimated total liver volume (CTLV) was determined in 369 Chinese adults. Age, sex, body weight, body height, body mass index, and body surface area (BSA) were recorded using CT. Total splenic volume, portal veno...
متن کاملEstimation of standard liver volume for liver transplantation in the Korean population.
The standard liver volume (LV) of a recipient is estimated in liver transplantation to determine the minimum LV necessary for the recipient. Simple linear formulas of LV estimation were developed for the Japanese and Caucasian populations. The present study examined the applicability of the reported formulas to the Korean population. Liver density (LD) was determined by analyzing 24 healthy liv...
متن کاملDetermining standard liver volume: assessment of existing formulae in Indian population.
BACKGROUND With the increasing numbers of living-related donor liver transplantation, accurate means of calculating standard liver volume (SLV) based on patient body indices becomes important. Three formulae reported in literature for this purpose have been derived from studies on Western and Japanese populations. AIM To assess the existing formulae for calculation of SLV in Indian population...
متن کاملA Formula to Calculate Standard Liver Volume Using Thoracoabdominal Circumference
Background With the use of split liver grafts as well as living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) it is imperative to know the minimum graft volume to avoid complications. Most current formulas to predict standard liver volume (SLV) rely on weight-based measures that are likely inaccurate in the setting of cirrhosis. Therefore, we sought to create a formula for estimating SLV without weight-ba...
متن کاملRecommendation of a Standard Method for Age Estimation in Iranian Population Based on Two Dental Parameters
Purpose: The aim of this study was to define a standard formula for age estimation based on two dental parameters proposed by Lamendin in Iranian population.Materials and Methods: Immediately after atrumatic extraction of 333 single rooted teeth of deceased bodies with known age and sex in Tehran Medical Legal Organization, the transparency, periodontosis and their indices were analyzed, and ag...
