Abstract: Objective To evaluate the suitability of reported standard liver volume formulae for Chinese adults based on the practice of 216 cases of living donor liver transplantation in our transplantation center. Methods The graft volume was preoperatively estimated in 179 adult-to-adult right liver living donors by two methods: first, the radiological right liver volume by computed tomography (CT) and second,calculated graft volume obtained by reported standard liver volume formula and the percentage of the right liver volume ( given by CT). Both results were compared to the actual graft volume measured during surgery.Results The mean percentage of right liver volume was 55.4% (SD 5.41%). The results of Urata、Heinemann、Vauthey、 Lee、 Yoshizumi formula were significantly larger than the actual right liver volume (P ＜0. 01 ). The result of Sheung-tat Fan was less than the actual right liver volume, there was statistical ESLV =334. 024 + 11. 508 × BW, is most suitable to estimate adult Chinese donor's right liver volume.
