Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Anthropometry varies with races and regions of the world. Specific ethnic nomograms are needed for proper medical diagonosis and monitoring the disease process. This study was carried to assess the range of dimensions of spleen in normal adult kashmiri population and to find out their correlation with weight, height and BMI. Material and methods: This was an observational cross sectional study conducted in department of anatomy GMC Srinagar for a period of 18 months. A total of 300 staff members between 19 and 55 years of age were included in the study. Results: In our study mean craniocaudal length of spleen was 10.20+1.40cms and transverse diameter was 8. 63+1.57cms. We found a statistically significant correlation of splenic dimensions with body weight and BMI. Conclusion: In conclusion, the normal limits of the spleen are important parameters during a sonographic examination. This study revealed that splenic dimensions showed the best correlation with body weight, and BMI.
