BACKGROUND: Ultrasound measurements of the liver, gallbladder, and hepatic vessels are important for clinicians as these measurements can be affected anatomically, physiologically, and pathologically. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between ultrasound measurements and anthropometric measures.
METHODS: A prospective observational design was carried in this study. A total of 135 university-aged youth with ages ranging between 18 and 24 years were examined sonographically. Ultrasound measurements include liver length and thickness, gallbladder length, width, thickness, volume and wall thickness, portal and hepatic veins' diameter, and subcutaneous tissue thickness.
RESULTS: A significant and positive correlation was observed between liver length with height (P < 0.001), weight (P = 0.006), body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.025), waist circumference (WC) (P = 0.048), and waist-to-hip circumference ratio (WHR) (P = 0.004). A significant and positive correlation was found between gallbladder volume and portal vein diameter with height (P = 0.034, P < 0.001), weight (P = 0.028, P = 0.032), and BMI (P = 0.047, P = 0.041), respectively. Furthermore, liver length and liver thickness were positively and significantly related with gallbladder volume (P = 0.038, P = 0.047), portal vein diameter (P = 0.029, P = 0.040), and subcutaneous tissue thickness (P = 0.017, P = 0.049), respectively. Gallbladder length and volume were negatively and significantly correlated with gallbladder wall thickness (P = 0.037, P = 0.041, respectively). A significant increase in the liver length, liver thickness, and portal vein diameter was observed in favor of the central obesity group.
CONCLUSION: Ultrasound measurements confirmed a physiological correlation between liver size with gallbladder volume, portal vein diameter, and subcutaneous tissue thickness. Anthropometric measurements, particularly BMI, are considered determinants for increasing the liver size, gallbladder volume, and portal vein.
