The liver is a vital organ responsible for numerous functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and the production of biochemicals necessary for digestion. Liver damage in the context of toxicology refers to the harm caused to the liver by exposure to toxic substances. These substances can be drugs, alcohol, chemicals, or even natural toxins found in some plants and animals. When the liver is overloaded with these toxins, it can lead to various forms of liver injury.
