Albumin, fibrinogen and prothrombin are produced in the liver.

Explanation:

Albumin : is a blood plasma protein and is produced in the liver and forms a large proportion of all plasma proteins.

Fibrinogen : is synthesised in the liver by the hepatocytes.

Prothrombin : is produced in the liver and is co - translationally modified in a vitamin K dependent reaction that converts ten glutamic acids on prothrombin to gamma carboxy glutamic acid.
