The liver has a powerful regenerative function, and liver cells have a great ability to divide and regenerate. In general, after a normal adult liver has been severely traumatized or even half removed, the remaining liver cells can still function normally and can grow to a normal liver size in a very short period of time.
In general, liver function returns to normal within a short period of time after liver trauma or liver resection, and most people return to their preoperative form within three to six months, and the liver’s hematopoietic, metabolic, and detoxification functions are largely unaffected during this time.
While the liver has a strong regenerative capacity, if the liver is excised too extensively or if the liver is more severely damaged, it can exceed the liver’s ability to repair and regenerate itself, so it is important to protect the liver in daily life and to enhance its function so that it can promote detoxification, metabolism, hematopoiesis, and other functions that will help the liver get the toxins and waste out of the body.
