Life expectancy varies, depending on whether the patient develops scarring of the liver (20% of cases), as 25% of such cases lead to liver cancer and liver failure. Diet, lifestyle, and quality of treatment can all affect the life span of a patient, as well as the availibility of liver transplants in the case of failure. As such, life expectancy is unpredictable and can range from months to decades.
Don't worry about the quantity of years; instead focus on your quality of life and living the best life for you that you can since it is not known the exact average life expectancy for someone who is a liver transplant recipient.
