Liver Regeneration
Individuals suffering from liver damage may experience detrimental symptoms like jaundice, bruising, frequent and dark urination, edema, and itching of the skin. Liver damage may be caused by alcohol abuse, illegal drugs, sickness, and other substances. Recently, consumers discovered that the weight-loss supplement Hydroxycut also contributed to serious liver damage in some individuals who took the product.
Fortunately, the liver is the only organ in the human body that can regenerate tissue on its own. For some people, however, the damage caused by Hydroxycut may be severe and may cause hospitalization, expensive medical costs, and other damages. If you have suffered injury due to taking Hydroxycut, contact the Hydroxycut recall lawyers of at your convenience.
Transplants and Regeneration
Persons who have suffered liver damage may discover:
- The liver has regenerated damaged tissues on its own. It may take as little as 25% of a liver to re-grow a complete organ.
- Liver damage may be repaired in as little as eight years.
- Persons who have experienced significant damage may be able to obtain a liver transplant, in which a healthy liver is inserted in the patient's body and the damaged one is removed.
In some cases, the liver may be able to repair itself from damage caused by Hydroxycut. Unfortunately, some individuals may find that the damage is beyond repair or may be too severe to recover from without medical assistance.
