The liver represents the largest gland of the human body and receives blood via the portal vein. Among several biochemical and physiological processes the liver conducts haematopoiesis during the fetal period, generation of urea for nitrogen detoxification, glycogen synthesis, synthesis of blood clotting factors, regulation of acid-base balance, metabolism of xenobiotics, etc. Routine clinical examinations assess parameters such as glutamic oxalacetate transferase, gamma glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase etc. From the internist's point of view liver diseases comprise fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, Alagille syndrome etc. On the other hand, biomecanics of the liver are of great interest since ptosis or congestion could be associated with problems of cervical spine, fixation of the ribs, sciatic pain syndrome and heart disorders. Patients often describe a dull sensation in the right abdomen and further symptoms such as insomnia, nocturnal sudation, crankiness, depression, uneasiness etc. Consistently, the liver should be considered in osteopathic treatment, due to its manifold clinical relevance.
