Prediction Of Liver Volume From Liver Transplant Donor Using Biometric Formula Compared With Computed Topography Volumetry, Agi S. Putranto, Adinda B. Syafina, Damayanti Sekarsari, Yarman Mazni, Yefta Moenadjat

The New Ropanasuri Journal of Surgery

Introduction. Liver volume calculation is critical in assessing the compatibility and resectability of the graft in living donor liver transplants (LDLT). An accurate estimation of liver volume is a predictor for successful LDLT. The gold standard of liver volume estimation is CT Volumetry. Despite several limitations in the availability of software, facility, and time consumed, there is still disagreement of biometric formula to predict liver volume in Indonesia.

Methods: A cross-sectional design study was carried out in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, enrolling those who underwent liver transplantation from 1^st January 2010 – 3^rd October 2019. Bodyweight, body …
