The Purpose of the Liver
The liver works by producing bile. It converts glucose into glycogen, and keeps your body core temperature at 27 degrees Celsius. If your liver fails then your blood stream will build up with toxins and you could certainly almost die.
The main purpose of the liver is that it cleans the blood and releases the bile from the system.
