Abdominal ultrasonography of the liver, as a sagittal plane through the midclavicular line, with some standard measurements. Right lobe of the liver at the midclavicular line at ages 0 to 7. Suspicion of<unk>  indicates a thorough medical history and physical examination, wherein the latter typically includes an increased liver span. On abdominal ultrasonography, the liver can be measured by the maximum dimension on a sagittal plane view through the midclavicular line, which is normally up to 18 cm in adults. It is also possible to measure the cranio-caudal dimension, which is normally up to 15 cm in adults. This can be measured together with the ventro-dorsal dimension (or depth), which is normally up to 13 cm. Also, the caudate lobe is enlarged in many diseases. In the axial plane, the caudate lobe should normally have a cross-section of less than 0.55 of the rest of the liver. Other ultrasound studies have suggested<unk>  as being defined as a longitudinal axis > 15.5 cm at the hepatic midline, or > 16.0 cm at the midclavicular line. Workup Blood tests should be done, importantly liver-function series, which will give a good impression of the patient's broad metabolic picture. A complete blood test can help distinguish intrinsic liver disease from extrahepatic bile-duct obstruction. An ultrasound of the liver can reliably detect a dilated biliary-duct system, it can also detect the characteristics of a cirrhotic liver. Computerized tomography (CT) can help to obtain accurate anatomical information, in individuals with<unk>  for the purpose of a complete diagnosis.
