Living donor liver transplantation involves implanting a graft smaller than the recipient's original liver. While the liver has strong regenerative capacity and the graft is expected to grow over time, a smaller graft may initially fail to meet the body's metabolic demands. Determining the minimum acceptable graft size is therefore crucial and depends on comparing graft volume with the recipient's expected liver volume.
However, most transplant candidates have end-stage liver disease, and their livers are often pathologically enlarged or atrophied. As such, it is inappropriate to use their liver size as a reference. Instead, a physiologic liver volume should be estimated based on body size.
Urata et al. (1995) proposed a widely used standard liver volume (SLV) formula based on body surface area in healthy individuals. Since then, numerous SLV formulae have been introduced, but no consensus exists regarding the optimal one.
Liver volume changes throughout life, relatively large in infancy and declining with age after adulthood. Many SLV formulae overlook this and are extrapolated beyond their original age ranges without proper validation. This study addresses these limitations and examines how age affects the relationship between body size and standard liver volume.
