signs of liver injury are usually elevated liver enzymes

Perhaps at late stages serum albumin might be decreased if the liver is not able to make enough

Signs of liver toxicity might be due to lack of serum albumin or too much ammonia in the blood (poor cognition)

As to how I come across this sort of information, I peruse PubMed 5 days weekly (Tuesday-Saturday) when new articles get added
