The "Magical Liver"

The liver is indeed a unique organ.  First, the liver contains one of the only cells that can regenerate itself, the Kupffer cell.  This cell and it overall health is a good gauge in the overall functional activity of the liver as a whole. Kupffer cell health decline is associated with a variety of disease states.

What are some misconceptions people have when it comes to their liver?

That the liver can take lifestyle abuse indefinitely.  The liver will show things like age spots also called liver spots or sunspots.  Neglect and abuse makes a considerable contribution to poor metabolic function "sluggishness".  High body fat and poor liver function are synonymous.

In ancient Greece, the liver was considered the seat of the emotions. Chinese have it as the organ that holds anger. In modern society along with the cardiovascular system the liver is asked to do more and more.  

Liver enzymes are in most every case from cancer to heart and coronary disease abnormal.  It would be reasonable for one to assume if the liver is truly healthy all must be well.
