If you cut off 80% of your liver, it will continue to work. after 2-3 months, you would find the whole liver intact as it was before cutting. scientists have found out that the liver really grows. so,the liver is called the chemical factory of the human body.
The human body does not regenerate organs once they've been removed. If it could, amputees could just grow another limb. Barring parts of the liver, we as humans cannot regenerate, sadly we are stuck this way. Who knows, maybe we will evolve one day?
The liver self regenerates so you can take some and the liver will just grow back
I've had the largest lobe of my liver removed and have been told that you never grow your liver back but it does regenerate back to full working capacity. If you know someone that is having some of their liver removed be sure to ask if it's because of PSC (primary sclerosing cholangitis). I was never told and had this liver disease for 3 yrs before being told. To read more of this condition and treatments, read... http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/primary-sclerosing-cholangitis/DS00918
Yes, it is possible for living humans to donate a portion of their liver. The liver has the ability to regenerate, so the portion removed from the donor should grow back in both the donor and the recipient. This type of donation is often done for liver transplants to save the life of someone with liver failure.
the liver is a great organ, and is our only organ capable of some regeneration meaning it can grow to replace what has been removed !! follow your doctors orders and good luck..
Yes Tonsils More Than Once, In Some Cases They Don't Grow Back But If They Do They Can Be Removed Again.
Not currently. Cirrhosis is caused by the liver turning into scar tissue, and once the scar tissue is there it won't grow back into liver tissue. I did just read about some Russian scientists who claim to be researching a drug that can turn the scar into stem cells which then grow back into liver cells, but assuming that this works it won't be available for many years unfortunately.
Yes, if you have wisdom teeth. Not everyone has four. Some people don't have any. They normally grow at the back of the gums, but in some cases grow sideways and have to be removed.
The Question Isn't " Does The Appendix Grow back?" The Question is do you want it to? ;)
After the spleen is removed, the liver and bone marrow can compensate for some of its functions. The liver can help with filtering blood and the bone marrow can take on some aspects of the spleen's role in immune response and blood cell production.
None. Once a bone is surgically removed, it will not grow back on its own. However, in some cases, doctors can use techniques such as bone grafting or synthetic bone implants to help promote bone regrowth in certain areas.
Shark is caught, then the fins are removed. With some sharks, the shark is thrown back to the sea after the fins are harvested, while with other sharks, liver/useful organs and flesh are removed for commercial sales.
