Background: The liver is that the largest organ within the anatomy. the dimensions depends on many factors: age, sex, body size and shape, from all the specific examination technique utilized Ultrasonography of the liver is one of the most common routine investigations which assess the size, texture and pathological change.
Objective: The aim of this study was to Study the correlation between size of left lobe of the liver and body characteristic in Sudanese patients sono-graphically.
Method: The data used in this study was collected in a randomly selected population sample and identify factors that affect liver size in Khartoum hospitals, the data collected from august 2018 to august 2019.
Result: 100 subjects (42 male-58 female) underwent sonographic examination of the liver in the mid clavicular line to determine liver span. The mean age of the sample was 36.8 (SD14.4), ranging from 20 to 87 years. The result of the study revealed that the mean of the liver span 15.02+_0.35, the mean of left lobe was 5.21+_0.39 and the mean of caudate lobe was 2.5+_0.07. The study also found that there is strong positive relation between body mass index and left lobe of the liver, but there was no such correlation between body mass index and liver span. Researchers recommended that a future study, continuous research in this subject is highly recommended.
