4. Can any of the medications I’m currently taking harm my liver?
   
   
5. Can moderate alcohol consumption harm my liver?
   
   
6. Could my liver be damaged without me noticing it?
   
   
7. Will my gallbladder problems spread to my liver?
   
   
8. Can alcohol or medication affect my gallbladder as well as my liver?
   
   
9. What tests will you perform to determine if I have a liver problem?
   
   
10. Should I be vaccinated for hepatitis B?
