Yes - at least I think so. I believe the liver regenerates itself once the damaged parts are removed; like in a transplant.
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.
No a person cannot live without a liver
Cirrhosis of the liver involves irreversible damage. The only treatment is abstaining from alcohol, and supporting liver function by not stressing it in other ways. It is possible to live for long periods with liver damage, provided that it is not too far advanced.
Only the Department of Immigration can decide if they will grant you a third interview for an engagement interview to live in the U.S.

Yes, in fact, donating a liver makes you live longer!
Depends on if it's a live donor or a dead donor. With a live donor only part of the liver is harvested for transplantation, and the remaining part will grow back to (close to) its original size within weeks.
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.
In liver donations from live donors, only half the liver is used. Both the transplanted part and the remaining part will grow and return to about the same weight/size as before in some weeks time.
A human being cannot live more than a few minutes without a functioning liver. During a liver transplant operation, a machine substitutes the function of the liver
You Cant Live Without Your Liver!
The liver is the only organ in the human body that can regenerate. It is possible to live with part of your liver because it will regenerate itself. Many times only part of a liver is transplanted during a transplant.
