The liver is one of the most resilient organs of the body and has the capacity to regenerate and has a fantastic reserve. It is this unique ability of the liver that is both a boon as well as a bane for people with liver diseases. The liver does not give rise to any symptoms unless there is very little liver functioning and often it is too late to reverse the damage that has already happened. The advantage of this regenerative capacity of the liver is that even when a person donates up to 70% of the liver it will still grow back almost completely within the next 3 to 4 weeks.
