A member asked:
For what length of time can a person live with only 35% of their liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: There is no way to know what percentage of the liver is functioning. We do know that once 75-80% of the liver cells have been destroyed, the liver begins to fail. If people have more than that, the liver can function normally. If no further injury occurs, people can live for years.
