Liver conditions: Introduction

Any condition that affects the liver. The liver is a body organ responsible for numerous functions such as storage and filtering of blood, bile production, metabolism of fat and sugars and making compounds which control blood volumes and clotting. Liver conditions include hepatitis, cirrhosis and abscesses. Jaundice is one of the more common signs of liver problems.
