End stage Liver fail: Unfortunately there is no absolute answer. It depends upon person to person and number of comorbidities and degree of comorbidities. In some people it is less than six months. In another people it could be more prolonged.

Liver failure: It will depend which one of her medical conditions is the dominant one. If liver, the survival rate for end stage liver disease is 50% within the first 12 months of diagnosis and 10% at 24 months.
