Actually the thing is my doctor says I have Hepatitis E. Doctor said that Virus damaged my liver. When we consult with liver specialist, he said that I will recover 100%. I read on Internet that liver is the only organ in human body that can create new tissue to replace damage one, but only 75%. So my question is what does 100%? I mean my liver will recover 100 like it was before damage?

Hepatitise is acute event and by 6-12weeks one should recover completely as it does not lead to chronic illness. Your recovery may be slow if you take reqular alcohol or have fatty liver but unlike hepatitis b&c shall not cause chronic illness.
