The development of artificial livers is an ongoing area of research, and while significant progress has been made, a fully functional and widely available artificial liver for human use is still in the experimental stages. Current efforts focus on creating bioengineered devices that can mimic liver functions, but practical applications may take several more years of research and clinical trials. Predictions vary, but it's likely that we won't see a reliable artificial liver for routine clinical use for at least a decade or more.

A working artificial liver hasn't been invented yet. They are currently working on "re-growing" a liver from stem cells. The reason that an artificial liver is so difficult, is because the liver is essentially a miniature chemical lab in the body. Unlike the heart (which just pumps blood) or the kidney (which filters blood), a liver is much more complex.

Urobilinogen shows that something is wrong with your liver. You should get that checked out with a doctor. Well, Alcohol and drugs and artificial things are generally bad for your liver
"Liver disease" is a general term for what it is called when your liver does not function correctly (work properly). There are many different types of liver disease, depending on why you liver is not functioning correctly.
Yes, the liver is part of the GI system.
Kidneys and the liver filter waste liquids from the body. If the body doesn't eliminate these from the blood stream thru urination then the body's blood supply will become toxic. If the kidneys and liver are not working or not working to a minimum proficiency than the body can not remove the waste and will die. With kidney failure, a mechanical solution exists in the form of an artificial kidney to remove the waste, it is called dialysis. Dialysis can be performed at home or at a medical site. An artificial liver does not exist and only a liver transplant must be preformed to save the body. Kidneys can also be transplanted!
