How does it take a liver regenerate itself and how long does it usually take?

Question

When a doctor tells you that your liver enzymes are not in balance (or whatever the proper medical way of saying this), how long does it take the liver to regenerate itself? How does it go about regenerating itself? Are the B vitamins essential for the liver to regenerate?

Also, is it true that one must take unpasteurized yogurt along wth the B vitamins in order for them to work efficiently ??

THANKS!!

Answer 1

"The liver has a remarkable capacity to regenerate after injury and to adjust its size to match its host. Within a week after partial hepatectomy, which, in typical experimental settings entails surgical removal of two-thirds of the liver, hepatic mass is back essentially to what it was prior to surgery. Some additional interesting observations include:

In the few cases where baboon livers have been transplanted into people, they quickly grow to the size of a human liver.
When the liver from a large dog is transplanted into a small dog, it loses mass until it reaches the size appropriate for a small dog.
Hepatocytes or fragments of liver transplanted in extrahepatic locations remain quiescent but begin to proliferate after partial hepatectomy of the host."
