89% 1 yr survival: Liver transplant survival rates vary from transplant center to transplant center, but the average one year liver recipient survival rate in the us is nearly 90% and the 3 yr survival rate is approaching 80%. 10 and 20 year survivors are not uncommon!

Liver transplant : Actually, the survival rates following liver transplantation for acute liver failure is very good overall with as many as 90% of patients doing well at one year and long term depending on the underlying cause of the liver damage.
