The liver is a central organ in your body and plays a crucial role in many vital functions.
To optimally monitor your liver health, it is important to check your liver values regularly.
On this page you can find out which liver values are particularly important and how you can easily test them at home.
For further information, we recommend the pages of the Stiftung Gesundheitswissen on the subject of liver health. Apotheken Umschau also writes about healthy liver.
The liver is one of the largest and most important organs in the human body.
It plays a central role in metabolism by converting and storing nutrients from food, breaking down waste products and toxins and purifying the blood.
The liver also produces important proteins, which are necessary for blood clotting and the immune system, and produces bile, which is needed for the digestion of fat in the small intestine.
