If you have an existing vitamin A deficiency then you may need to adjust your liver consumption based on your doctors guidance.

Liver is healthy when eaten in moderation and is high in quality protein.

For most healthy people liver can be eaten and enjoyed in moderation as part of a healthy and balanced diet.

You should however avoid eating liver if you have gout or are pregnant.
