    GlossaryLiver Function

    detoxifies blood, produces bile, and synthesizes essential proteins

    Liver function, also known as hepatic function, refers to the various vital processes carried out by the liver, including detoxification of harmful substances, production of bile for digestion, synthesis of proteins like albumin, and regulation of blood clotting. It is often assessed through liver function tests (LFTs), which measure levels of enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin in the blood to evaluate the liver's health and performance.
