The liver, aside from producing bile, is where most of the metabolic processesof the organism take place. It synthethizes a great ammount of proteins such as albumin and coagulating factors, it also metabolizes nitrogenated compounds such as urea and creatinin. Most drugs also get modified or neutralized in the liver.

So, if the liver wasn't there, firstly, the loss of albumin would produce from localized edema to anasarca; loss of coagulation factors would hinder coagulation and injuries would take a lot to heal, and you'd bleed a lot in the process; accumulation of nitrogenated compounds is called azoemia, and it can produce severe brain damage: haepatic encephalopathy. Drugs would remain in your blood stream a lot longer and can be toxic even in normal doses. Indirect bilirrubin would accumulate as well, inducing jaundice (yellow coloration of skin and mucuses).
