The liver is responsible for some vital tasks like detoxification and producing certain chemicals needed for digestion.
Hugh Laurie in House once said "You can't live without a liver. Hence the name." This is true. You need your liver to survive, and unlike the kidneys, the functions of the liver can not be maintained via machines.
Liver transplants can be done, but transplant lists have hundreds and hundreds of people in need of a liver, many in critical condition. The point is you can't depend on a liver transplant to fix your liver problems. It's easier to take care of it than have to face the ramifications of not taking care of it.
You don't necessarily have to take special steps to take care of your liver, though it wouldn't do much harm if you did. All you need to do is avoid gratuitous drinking, too much fats, etc. Basically all you need to do is have a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
