Indeed, liver injuries can heal, but it depends on the cause of the injury as well as the severity and time period in which the liver injury occurred. Mild liver injuries such as fatty liver can heal once the cause of such injury is treated. Liver scarring at an early stage can also heal. However, advanced liver scarring or cirrhosis, which involves large scars in the liver, cannot fully heal.
Liver protection includes abstaining from alcohol use, maintaining a healthy weight, controlling any Diabetes you might have, and taking the doctor's advice on diseases like hepatitis. You should also avoid the use of herbal medicines or drugs that are not known to be safe for the liver.
