I have liver damage.  Can the liver rejuvenate and repair itself?

Yes, the liver can repair itself by regenerating new cells, but this depends the patient's overall health and the damage to the liver. Liver damage is irreversible when there is permanent scarring of the liver, which is called cirrhosis.
