The entire volume of blood in the body circulates through the liver approximately once every minute. Given that the average adult has about 5 to 6 liters of blood, the liver processes this blood through its network of blood vessels and sinusoids quite efficiently. Factors such as blood flow rate and liver health can influence this timing, but generally, it takes about one minute for all the blood to pass through the liver.
There is no function of the liver to drugs, but rather drugs affect the liver. My grandma has been on drugs for so long that now her liver is failing.
Basically no one knows how long a person can live with liver cancer. If something is not done, and fast, the answer is not long. One woman lived 2 months after diagnosis. Good luck on getting a living donor for a liver transplant. It takes the donor's liver 6 weeks for the missing half to grow back. Do you have any friends or relatives with the same blood type?

Estimated life expectancy's with liver failure are estimated with the Child-Pugh score. You may find the related link helpful. It really depends upon when it is found out that the liver is "failing" as to how long it is before the liver completely fails. If is is noticed early that the liver is slowly losing function, and at a stable rate, it can still be years before the liver completely ceases to function.
Liver can regenerate.Liver can be transplanted from a cadaver or from a living liver donor.In living liver donor it may take around 4-6 weeks to regenerate in case of no complication.
The long term energy system uses carbohydrates stored in muscles, liver and blood stream or fats.
Your liver filters the blood in your body turning the filtered product into bile. thats how alcoholics have cirrhosis of the liver(hardening of the liver) because it has filtered to much alcohol out of the bloodstream for to long of a period of time.
A newborn's liver works when he is born it just is not fully matured. That is why jaundice is a problem for some newborns since the liver can not fully excrete the excess bilirubin resulting from red blood cell break down.
Glycogen meets the long-term needs of energy. This is due to the fact that readily available glucose gets stored in the liver as glycogen. When blood glucose levels fall this glycogen is then converted back into glucose for energy requirements.
