Address for Correspondence: Dr Suma M P, Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, The Oxford Medical College Hospital &Research Centre, Yadavanahalli, Attibele Hobele, Anekal Tq, Bengaluru-560 107. Mobile-9916166290 E-Mail: sumaprakashmp@gmail.com Introduction: The liver is the largest organ of human body occupying right hypochondrium, epigastrium and partially left hyopchondrium. It is important in maintaining blood glucose and lipid levels which keep tissues of body alive and healthy. As the body grows from infancy to adult-hood, the liver rapidly increases in size. The maximum growth of liver reaches at around 18 years of age. The size of liver varies according to age, sex, and body weight. Aim: To study dimensions of liver span in normal individual, Cranio caudal dimensions of Right and Left lobes of Liver, and to compare the dimensions of liver in relation to sex & age. Materials and Methods: 80 healthy subjects which include 38 males and 42 females ranging from 17 years to60 years of age were taken for the study. The sonographic measurements of the liver were collected from real ultrasound images. In this study subjects demographic data such as age, gender, weight, height and had been collected using designed questionnaire. This data is recorded using by weighing machine and stadiometer. The body surface area was calculated with the help of Mosteller’s formula. Results: The CCL of right lobe progressively increases as age advances and no increase of CCL is notice in age groups of 41-60 years CCL of right lobe is more dependable than the left lobe. As per the data, analysed regarding the liver span of both the genders of various age groups indicate that there is gradual increase of Liver Span as age advances. The parameter is marginally more in females than males. Conclusion: Clinical measurement of liver by percussion and palpation can be inaccurate and unreliable. So, clinical evaluation by percussion and palpation is flawed for its inability to provide precise dimensions. Ultrasound is usually the method of choice for screening, diagnostic, prognostic purpose and follow-up after treatment.
