[Standardization of liver dimensions for the local population]

A retrospective and consecutive analysis of the autopsy records for a statistical group of 298 cases revealed 138 pathohistological states of cyanopathies and liver steatoses of the first and second degree i.e. liver conditions which scarcely disturb the dimensions and weight of the liver. Statistical processing of the exactly monitored parameters (length, thickness, height and weight) of the liver in 109 males and 78 females point to a homogenous group of cases without statistically significant differences between male and female subjects. The average liver length in males of the regional population is 26 cm, while in females it is 25 cm, average liver thickness in males of the regional population is 22 cm and 21 cm in females, and the average liver height both in male and female subjects is 7 cm. Average liver weight in males of the regional population is 1700 g and in females it is 1600 g. The values of the established liver parameters can be considered as valid and normal features of the regional population.
