Standard Formulae in Predicting Norms of Sudanese Liver Volume: A CT based study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
This Cross-sectional, hospital-based study was obtained to establish normative data for the Computerized Tomography (CT) measurement of liver volume and dimensions in healthy Sudanese Subjects. The study took place at Alkuwaitti Specialized Hospital. The participants were 197 healthy Sudanese adults; their ages were between 18year to 82 years old. CT evaluation for the liver volume and dimensions was obtained. The liver volume was correlated with the age, gender, weight, BSA, total body water contents, Hounsfield (HU) and other liver dimensions of the participants .The current study found that the minimum liver volume was 1010 cm3 , maximum volume was 2153cm3 and mean value of 1444.48±218.11cm3 for Sudanese populations with mean age of 44.73±16.75.This was considered greater than what was mentioned in other populations .The liver volume was significantly correlated with age at p=0.039 Right Lobe craniocaudal(CC )at p=0.000, Right Lobe antroposterior (AP)p=0.000, Right Lobe lateral (LAT)p=0.045), Left Lobe length p= 0.002 ,with no difference between the two genders except for the total body water contents at p=0.002. Two new formulae available to calculate standard liver volume for Sudanese were established. The formula are based on body surface area ,total body water , patients weight, age and liver CT number measured in HU as well as Right Lobe (CC), Right Lobe (AP),Right Lobe (LAT) and Left Lobe length. Liver Volume measured from Eastern and Western population most farley estimates liver volumes for Sudanese population, with a slight underestimation. Our formulae are acknowledged for calculating liver volume using CT scans
