Abstract :

BACKGROUND: The liver is a vital organ of verteates and some other animals. In the human, the liver is the largest gland in the body, and consists of both exocrine and endocrine parts. It is located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, below the diaphragm. The liver has a wide range of functions, including detoxification of various metabolites, protein synthesis, and the production of biochemicals necessary for digestion. Hepatomegaly is a condition that needs an urgent further evaluation. So it has become clear that great need for an exact determination of liver size. Ultrasound is usually the method of choice for screening, diagnostic, prognostic purpose and follow–up after treatment. Because of its accuracy, easy accessibility, avoids use of ionizing radiation, non–invasive technique and inexpensive. Various methods for assessment of liver sizes have been reported in literature. AIM: • To compare the dimensions of liver in relation to height. • To compare the dimensions of liver with that of body weight. • To compare the dimensions of liver with that of Body Surface area. RESULTS: The mean height of males in our study subjects is 166.8cm while the mean height of females is 115.4 cm. The mean CCL of right lobe of liver is 13.5cm in males and 12.8cm in females based on height the Mean Weight of 42 female subjects is observed as 55.293cm,Mean liver span 13.993cm, SD weight is 9.2308cm, SD liver span of 1.7069 cm, Mean CCL of right lobe is 12.89cm, SD CCL of right lobe is1.4371cm, Mean CCL of left lobe 4.96cm and SD CCL left lobe is 0.8912 cm. Out of 38 male subjects the Mean Weight observed as 59.771cm, SD weight is 11.6094cm, with mean liver span of 13.926cm, SD liver span is 1.2513cm, Mean CCL right lobe is 13.521cm, SD CCL of right lobe is 1.476cm, Mean CCL left lobe is 5.753cm, SD CCL left lobe is 1.1361cm. the Mean Body Surface area of 42 female subjects is observed as 2.4276cm, Mean liver span 13.993cm, SD Body Surface area is 0.45783cm, SD liver span of 1.7069 cm, Mean CCL of right lobe is 12.89cm, SD CCL of right lobe is1.4371cm, Mean CCL of left lobe 4.96cm and SD CCL left lobe is 0.8912 cm. Out of 38 male subjects the Mean Body Surface area observed as 2.7682cm, SD Body Surface area is 0.56261cm, with mean liver span of 13.926cm, SD liver span is 1.2513 cm, Mean CCL right lobe is 13.521cm, SD CCL of right lobe is 1.476cm, Mean CCL left lobe is 5.753cm, SD CCL left lobe is 1.1361cm.
