What organ declines in function with age and is primarily responsible for the metabolism of drugs?
Liver
Has been reduced in sized usually over time ans has less important function in some related organisms than in others?
This can be attributed to a process called evolutionary reduction. Over time, certain organisms may experience a decrease in the size or complexity of a particular structure or organ if it is no longer necessary or beneficial for their survival. This reduction occurs when the structure becomes less important or has a reduced function in comparison to other related organisms that still rely on it.

What does reduced kidney function mean?
Organ function tests determine how well an organ is performing its primary functions. When an organ is not performing as expected then its function is considered to be reduced. When organ function is reduced the organ is said to be diseased (e.g. heart disease simply means the heart is not performing is function normally). The failure of the organ to perform normally may be because of a short-term problem (called acute) or an ongoing condition that typically results in serious damage (called chronic).Reduced organ function is classified as primary when the organ itself is the cause of the problem or secondary when something else is the cause of the problem. As an example, liver disease could be caused by cirrhosis from excessive alcohol consumption - in this case the liver has been damaged because of having to process too much alcohol and this is considered "primary". An example of "secondary" liver disease is when the pancreas over produces digestive enzymes which then damage the liver.It can be quite difficult to determine which organ has reduced function and then exactly why its function is reduced which can result in a number of tests having to be performed.The above is generic and isn't specific to kidneys and equally applies to the liver, pancreas, the heart etc. The kidneys are responsible for regulating water and salt levels within the body. They also remove some waste products. So, a reduced kidney function means that it is not correctly regulating water and/or salt levels.For more information look here: http://www.patient.co.uk/health/Blood-Test-Kidney-Function.htm

Is liver cancer cirrhosis?
Liver cancer is not the same as liver cirrhosis. Cancer is a replication of malignant (or, "damaged") cells, which gradually take over an organ, reducing the function, and may spread to other parts of the body. (i.e, cancer cells growing and taking over the liver, reducing function). Whereas cirrhosis is vast amounts of scarring to the hepatocytes (liver cells), which make up the liver. (i.e liver cells, which are already in existence, being damaged). Cirrhosis does not spread to other parts of the body.
