Abstract
Liver span of normal infants and children 2 months to 5 years of age was found to be significantly correlated with body height, weight, surface area, and age. However, it was best correlated with body surface area, reflecting a constant relationship between body size and liver size. Assessment of liver span is a useful test for evaluation of a child with apparent liver enlargement.Entities:
