Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The liver is crucial for storing vitamins, producing clotting factors, metabolizing fats, regulating glucose, and detoxifying substances. A disorder can lead to low vitamin A levels, increased bleeding due to impaired clotting factor production, poor fat digestion due to reduced bile production, insulin resistance due to impaired glucose metabolism, and nerve damage due to toxin accumulation. Elevated vitamin E is not typically associated with liver disorders.
