what does your liver do for your body?

Without the liver there is no life! Your liver produces many substances and maintains the balance of many nutrients. Our body makes many waste products which can be excreted only by the liver.

The liver plays a central role in the detoxification of drugs. Drugs are being taken up by the liver, degraded and excreted. The liver acts as a filter and prevents the passage of bacteria from the gut into the blood. The liver is also an important player in our defense mechanisms.

Since the liver can be affected by many things other than alcohol, it is totally conceivable that you can have problems with your liver. Heredity, drugs, viruses, stds, etc. can all damage the liver.

This little poem says it all and was written by Pablo Neruda:

Ode to the Liver

There, inside, you filter and apportion

you separate and divide,

you multiply and lubricate

you raise and gather

the threads and the grams of life...

from you I hope for justice:

I love life: Do not betray me! Work on!

Do not arrest my song.

Your liver is basically a filter for your body anything bad you put in your body its gonna go to your liver

What Does Your Liver Do

The liver filters the blood. Some medications can affect the liver and it's function.

Your liver doesnt filter your urine, that's what your kidneys do! Your liver gets rid of "harmful" substances like alcohol and medications and sends them to the kidneys for excretion.

your liver is a very important organ in ingestion of food.

the most important function is the removal of toxic substances in food or drinks after digestion.
