What happens to your liver during shock?

In shock, the body goes into survival mode and diverts blood flow from non-essential organs, such as the liver, to vital organs such as the heart, brain, and lungs. This can lead to liver damage, as the reduced oxygen and nutrient supply can cause cells to die. In addition, shock can lead to the release of harmful toxins and enzymes, which can further damage the liver. The severity of liver damage can range from mild to severe and can lead to long-term complications such as liver failure and cirrhosis.
