What is the liver?
The liver is in the upper right part of the
abdomen. It has many functions which include

• Storing glycogen (fuel for the body) which is
  made from sugars. When required, glycogen is
  broken down into glucose which is released into
  the bloodstream.
• Helping to process fats and proteins from
  digested food.
• Making proteins that are essential for blood to
  clot (clotting factors).
• Helping to process and/or remove alcohol, many
  types of medicines, toxins and poisons from the
  body.
