  Introduction Historically Urata et al. first described a formula, based on donor biometrics, to predict total liver volumes. Many centres have shown that such formulae have different accuracy based on the population studied. To date, no such study has been carried out in a South East Asian population. Our primary aim was to study the accuracy of seven internationally recognized formula. Secondarily we aimed to derive a formula for caluculating the weight of a liver graft using CT derived volume. Methods A prospectively held database of adult living donor liver transplants between July 1996 and January 2015 was interrogated. Only entries with complete data were included. Donors’ biometrics were tabulated with.. Read More»
