Does the liver regenerate after cirohsus?

Answer 1

The liver has a remarkable ability to regenerate, but cirrhosis, which is the late-stage scarring of the liver, can significantly impair this process. While some liver function may improve if the underlying cause of cirrhosis is treated, complete regeneration is unlikely once severe scarring has occurred. In advanced cirrhosis, the liver's architecture is permanently altered, and the risk of complications increases. Therefore, while some regeneration is possible, it is often limited and dependent on the extent of liver damage and ongoing care.
