Liver disorders refer to a variety of conditions that affect the liver, a vital organ responsible for performing numerous functions essential for maintaining overall health. The liver is located in the upper right side of the abdomen and plays a central role in processes such as digestion, metabolism, detoxification, and the synthesis of essential proteins. Liver disorders can range from mild and reversible conditions to severe and potentially life-threatening diseases.

Introduction to Liver Functions:

The liver is a multitasking organ with diverse functions, including:

1. Metabolism:

– The liver is involved in the metabolism of nutrients, including carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It plays a crucial role in maintaining blood sugar levels, storing and releasing energy, and synthesizing important molecules.

2. Detoxification:

– The liver helps detoxify the blood by processing and removing toxins and waste products, including drugs and alcohol.

3. Synthesis of Proteins:

– The liver produces proteins essential for blood clotting, immune function, and maintaining fluid balance within the body.

4. Storage of Nutrients:

– The liver stores essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals and releases them into the bloodstream when needed.

5. Bile Production:

– The liver produces bile, a substance that aids in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine.
