What happens if the liver is cut with existing damage?

Liver damage can have serious consequences, and the impact varies depending on the extent and cause of the damage. The damage can occur due to various factors, including viral infections (such as hepatitis), excessive alcohol consumption, fatty liver disease, medication-related toxicity, or physical trauma. If you suspect liver damage or experience symptoms like abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), unexplained weight loss, or changes in urine or stool colour, it's essential to seek medical attention promptly. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are vital in preventing further complications. Treatment options for liver damage can include lifestyle modifications, medications, or, in severe cases, liver transplantation. The liver has a remarkable ability to regenerate itself, and it can return to normal size even after substantial portions have been removed.
