Abstract
To investigate if there is difference in hepatic segmental volume distribution according to causes of liver cirrhosis (LC) using computed tomography volumetric analysis. On computed tomographic scans, hepatic segmental volumes were measured in 90 patients with LC of 4 different causes (alcohol, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and cryptogenic cirrhosis). The volumetric indices were compared. The volume proportion of the lateral segment in the liver in patients with HBV was significantly higher than in the patients with HCV (P = 0.038). Hepatic volume distribution in alcoholic LC showed differences: larger caudate lobe volume than HBV- and HCV-induced LC (P = 0.029 and P = 0.031), larger right lobe volume (P = 0.043) and smaller proportion of the lateral segment in the liver (P = 0.003) than in HBV-induced LC. Computed tomography volumetric analysis showed differences in hepatic segmental volume distribution in cirrhotic patients according to causes of LC.
