The Impact of Physical Parameters on Organ Weight: An Autopsy Analysis

Abstract— Organ weight serves as a critical indicator in forensic medicine for distinguishing between normal and abnormal conditions. This study analyzed the weights of six major organs—brain, lungs, heart, spleen, liver, and kidneys—in 200 cases, comprising 80 females and 120 males. The findings show that organ weights are consistently higher in males than in females across all age groups. For instance, the mean weight of the liver in females is 1240.27 ± 101 grams, while in males, it is 1352.16 ± 99 grams. Similarly, the brain weighs 1114.82 ± 98 grams in females and 1224 ± 96 grams in males. The right lung in females weighs 487.52 ± 53.53 grams and in males, 524.6 ± 45.65 grams, while the left lung weighs 448.70 ± 50.36 grams in females and 473.8 ± 39 grams in males. Spleen weight in females is 107.52 ± 13.5 grams and in males, 114.68 ± 14.16 grams. The heart weighs 258.29 ± 27.18 grams in females and 267.84 ± 25.49 grams in males. Kidney weights also differ, with the left kidney weighing 108.74 ± 16.17 grams and the right kidney 107.96 ± 15.78 grams in females, while in males, the left kidney weighs 113.72 ± 15.20 grams and the right kidney 112.9 ± 14.96 grams. These findings provide baseline organ weight data for the population in this region.
