The liver is the largest solid organ in the body. It removes toxins from the body’s blood supply, maintains healthy blood sugar levels, regulates blood clotting, and performs hundreds of other vital functions. It is located beneath the rib cage in the right upper abdomen. The liver also filters all of the blood in the body and breaks down substances, such as alcohol and drugs and also helps remove excess hormones including estrogen. It also helps maintain healthy triglyceride levels.
