Hello and welcome to the next episode of 3P, Pills, Pearls, and Patients. I'm your host, Dr. Marina Malak, and today we're going to do a very quick episode on Review of the Liver. Now, what really sparked this kind of in-between impromptu episode is the fact that I felt we had a lot to talk about the liver, you know, there's an Approach to Fatty Liver, Approach to Elevated Liver Enzymes, but sometimes there's a little bit of confusion around certain things to do with the liver.

So this is going to kind of be a quick mixed bag episode of things about the liver. And it's an important one because we're going to need to talk about Approach to Liver Enzymes.
