After your skin, your liver is the second largest organ in your body. Often overlooked, your liver performs a variety of vital tasks.

Here is a checklist to verify if you have any symptoms of liver toxicity. It is the do-everything organ. It helps your body process fats, synthesize proteins, regulate blood clotting factors and remove harmful toxins from blood.

Viruses, drug use—including common drugs like acetaminophen—poisons, and alcohol use can cause liver damage. Fortunately, your liver has the ability to repair itself.
