Can Cirrhotic Livers Regenerate? posted on December 1, 2014 cirrhosishepatectomyliverregenerate Share this Post Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Google Plus November 26, 2014 The regeneration of normal and cirrhotic liver has been very well demonstrated after partial hepatectomy; although the tissue regenerated by cirrhotic liver is also cirrhotic. The structural differences of the regenerated tissues between normal and cirrhotic livers may also indicate different regeneration capacities. In this rat study, cirrhotic livers revealed a significantly depressed capacity for regeneration following partial hepatectomy. Alpha tocopherol administration seemed to improve the rates of regeneration in cirrhotic rats.
