“…Goodness of fit of the formula was tested by analysis of residuals. Formulae deduced from other studies and this study were used to calculate the ESLW using BW, BH, BSA, and gender of these 159 subjects as appropriate [4,[7][8][9]11,12,17,18] . ESLV derived from the respective formulae [4,[7][8][9][10]18] was converted to ESLW by a factor of 1.19 mL/g as derived from analysis of data from this study.…”

“…Larger series of BSA estimation by geometric methods revealed that the DuBois equation can predict lower BSA values [21] . The Mosteller equation which illustrates that BSA (m 2 ) = square root BH (cm) × BW (kg) /3600 [22] has been used in 2 series for the sake of easier calculation [8,17] . On the whole, convenience of using BSA is in using the simple formula from linear regression.…”

“…Using the formulae for ESLV and ESLW from other studies [4,[7][8][9]11,12,17,18] , and the anthropometric data of the 159 subjects of this study, the ESLV and ESLW were calculated. The ESLW was converted from ESLV by factor of 1.19 mL/g.…”

AIM:To estimate the standard liver weight for assessing adequacies of graft size in live donor liver transplantation and remnant liver in major hepatectomy for cancer. METHODS:In this study, anthropometric data of body weight and body height were tested for a correlation with liver weight in 159 live liver donors who underwent donor right hepatectomy including the middle hepatic vein. Liver weights were calculated from the right lobe graft weight obtained at the back table, divided by the proportion of the right lobe on the computed tomography. RESULTS:The subjects, all Chinese, had a mean age of 35.8 ± 10.5 years, and a female to male ratio of 118:41. The mean volume of the right lobe was 710.14 ± 131.46 mL and occupied 64.55% ± 4.47% of the whole liver on computed tomography. Right lobe weighed 598.90 ±117.39 g and the estimated liver weight was 927.54 ± 168.78 g. When body weight and body height were subjected to multiple stepwise linear regression analysis, body height was found to be insignificant. Females of the same body weight had a slightly lower liver weight. A formula based on body weight and gender was derived: Estimated standard liver weight (g) = 218 + BW (kg) x 12.3 + gender x 51 (R 2 = 0.48) (female = 0, male = 1). Based on the anthropometric data of these 159 subjects, liver weights were calculated using previously published formulae derived from studies on Caucasian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. All formulae overestimated liver weights compared to this formula. The Japanese formula overestimated the estimated standard liver weight (ESLW) for adults less than 60 kg. CONCLUSION:A formula applicable to Chinese males and females is available. A formula for individual races appears necessary.

“…For comparison, we calculated the estimated SLV according to previously reported formulas for adults [5,6,10,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Using these formulas, the BSA was calculated using the Dubois formula [22] as follows: BSA (m 2 ) = Body weight (kg) 0.425 ×Body height(cm) 0.725 ×0.007184.…”

“…Using these formulas, the BSA was calculated using the Dubois formula [22] as follows: BSA (m 2 ) = Body weight (kg) 0.425 ×Body height(cm) 0.725 ×0.007184. For the formulas proposed by Vauthey et al [14] and Yoshizumi et al [15], the Mosteller's formula [23] was adopted: BSA = √(Body weight (kg) ×Body height (cm)/3600).…”
