My gastro said I could live a long healthy life with only 10% of a none cirrohsis liver he said he knew people who lived a very good life with only 5 percent of a none damaged liver.
One percent of normal liver function is not sufficient to maintain life. Your friend will need a liver transplant, providing she is a candidate, if she is to survive much longer.
the drug toxins damage the liver because the person has to tke medications through out life, and this contributes to liver toxiciy.

The life span of someone with 40 percent liver damage can vary widely depending on several factors, including the underlying cause of the damage, overall health, lifestyle choices, and access to medical care. Generally, significant liver damage can lead to complications such as cirrhosis or liver failure, which may reduce life expectancy if not addressed. With proper management, lifestyle changes, and medical treatment, individuals can potentially live for years, but the prognosis is highly individualized. Consulting a healthcare professional is essential for a more accurate assessment and guidance.
It all matters how strong the person can hold life into themselves.
A liver transplant is needed when the liver's function is reduced to the point that the life of the patient is threatened.

CPR can cause injury to a person's ribs, liver, lungs, and heart. However, these risks must be accepted if CPR is necessary to save the person's life.
The lifespan of a liver cell is 300 to 500 days.
Both the heart and liver are vital to life, as is brain stem functioning. Humans can also live with damage to the heart or liver. But, it is harder to live with liver damage than to live with heart damage. The liver "detoxes" the entire body and is vital to process many of the medications ill persons must take to survive. But when the liver is damaged, it cannot process the toxins and by-products like a healthy liver can. Toxins build up in the blood stream until they begin to damage the brain and other organs. Interestingly, though, one person can die from heart disease but have a relatively healthy liver.... while another person can die from liver ailments/damage while having a relatively strong heart! But, while each are vital to life, I'd have to say the liver's 'health' is more important in both health and in chronic medical conditions.
