Abstract
The human body is an ensemble of various organs; but one organ transcends all others due to its versatility and significance, i.e. the liver. An estimated 50 million adult population in world suffers from chronic liver disease making it the fifth and second leading cause of mortality in UK and USA respectively. In India 1.28% of all patients visiting tertiary care hospitals suffer from liver dysfunctions, while 1/3 of all liver dysfunctions in the population remain asymptomatic and present in the end stages.
