impact. The liver and pancreas are also affected by alcoholism. The pancreas produces toxic substances when introduced to too much alcohol that leads to Pancreatitis‚ which is “a dangerous inflammation and swelling of blood vessels in the pancreas that prevents proper digestion”. The liver cleanses the blood of toxins‚ and over drinking causes the liver to over work trying to clean the blood of all the alcohol consumed. This damages the liver and can cause liver failure.

occurs when there is too much bilirubin being produced for the liver to remove from the blood. Jaundice also occurs when there is a defect in the liver that prevents bilirubin from being removed from the blood‚ converted to a conjugated acid or secreted in bile‚ or blockage of the bile ducts that decreases the flow of bile and bilirubin from the liver into the intestines. Jaundice in babies usually occurs because their immature livers are not efficient at removing bilirubin from the bloodstream. Jaundice

vital processes while other substances‚ necessary for life‚ are produced. Drugs are often eliminated by biotransformation‚ the alteration of a substance within the body‚ or excretion into the urine or the fluid that is made by the liver‚ also known as bile. The liver is the major location for drug metabolism‚ but specific drugs may experience biotransformation in other tissues. The metabolic transformation of drugs is catalyzed by enzymes‚ and most of the reactions obey Michaelis-Menten kinetics
