The Hepatitis C Liver

The liver is one of the most complex organs in the human body. It is the body’s largest organ and responsible for more than 5,000 life-sustaining functions. The liver is primarily responsible for converting food into energy. Additionally, the liver filters the body from hundreds of potential toxins and synthesizes a variety of factors necessary to sustain life. When the liver is diseased, the entire body is affected.
