Donated livers can originate from cadavers or living benefactors. In the case of living donors, the donor contributes part of his/her liver to an additional individual, according to the American University of Gastroenterology. The liver can regrow itself, so both individuals need to wind up with healthy, functional livers. There might be no signs and symptoms of a bigger liver, though if they are they are the same as the symptoms for liver disease. Generally, the liver can not be felt unless you take a deep breath, but if it is bigger, your doctor might be able to feel it, according to the NIH.
