Normalizing Splenic Volume for Weight and Body Surface Area

 

Parameters:

(1) splenic volume in mL

(2) weight in kilograms

(3) body surface area (BSA) in square meters

 

normalized splenic volume for height =

= (splenic volume in mL) / (body weight in kilograms)

 

normalized splenic volume for BSA =

= (splenic volume in mL) / (body surface area in square meters)

 

Simpson et al found that normal adults had a normalized splenic volume of 2.5 +/- 0.8 mL per kg.
