Just wondering: is there any way I can proactively check for liver health to make sure its healthy? It seems like a ridiculously important organ to not have checked at some regularity.

Ask your doctor about a liver enzyme test, and get an HepC test if you have any possible risk you contracted it.

The liver enzyme tests will tell you if the liver is fighting off anything.

That said, you're probably OK if you don't have any major risk factors or symptoms.
