What does your liver do?

The liver is found within the lower part of the rib-cage on the right hand side of the body.  It has a huge variety of functions in the body and is the only organ that can repair and re-grow itself after damage. The liver is the second largest organ in the body and is often seen as the most important one. In traditional Chinese medicine, for example, a healthy liver is seen as the most critical element in the body's ability to fight disease and function optimally.

For this reason, complementary and holistic medicine always emphasizes liver health as one of the most vital components in overall systemic health. Amongst other important functions, the liver is responsible for eliminating and detoxifying the poisons that enter our blood stream.

The liver is very important in the digestion of food and produces bile which is essential in the breakdown of fats, thereby preventing obesity � one of the biggest contributors to bad health. It also regulates blood sugar and stores any excess sugar in a useful �quick-release� form for when it is needed. The liver clears the blood of old red blood cells, bacteria and other infectious organisms as well as ingested toxins including alcohol. It is responsible for producing a large number of different proteins including hormones and blood clotting factors and is the organ which stores Vitamin A, D, E and K.

Environmental pollution, fast foods, drugs, alcohol and sedentary lifestyles all contribute to sluggish and diseased livers. The result?

• Depressed immune systems
• Constant fatigue
• Obesity
• Sluggish livers and digestive systems
• Allergies
• Respiratory ailments
• Unhealthy skin

What can go wrong with your liver?

The most common diseases affecting the liver are viral hepatitis and alcoholic liver disease.  Hepatitis A, B and C are the most common causes of viral hepatitis. Although Hepatitis A is usually a transient infection, both Hepatitis B and C can be serious and progress to chronic liver disease, even causing liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. There are usually very few warning signs until liver damage is very advanced.

Liver Cirrhosis can be due to any long-term, continuous cause of liver damage. These causes include alcohol excess, Hepatitis B and C and inherited liver disease. When the liver is damaged some of the functioning cells die and are replaced by scar tissue.  Once cirrhosis has developed, the process cannot be reversed even if the underlying cause improves.

Alcoholic liver disease does not affect everyone who drinks alcohol. Though it is dependant on the amount of alcohol consumed over time, some people seem to be more susceptible to the adverse effects of alcoholic beverages.  Consistent heavy alcohol intake can cause a condition called fatty liver in which the liver cells become filled with fat.  It can also cause alcoholic hepatitis (Inflammation of the liver) or cirrhosis.
