Can a person live without a liver?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
No, you can not live without a liver. A person can function well on half liver too, moreover, liver can regenerate by itself. It means that even if a person donates half a liver, it will grow back to normal size within few months.

I've just found out my HBsAg levels are 4094.27 and it's reactive. I'm really worried about what this means for my health. Can you tell me how I can treat this and how long it might take? Is this something I'm going to have to deal with for the rest of my life? Any advice would be really appreciated.
You must continue to repeat relevant tests at regular intervals in order to determine the progression of your disease. Hepatitis B has no known cure, but can be managed with regular medication and lifestyle modifications.
