It really depends on a variety of factors. First how bad is the liver failure. Second how is the persons health status otherwise. What is the cause of the liver failure? Some cause will reverse.
If her liver failure is progressive, your friend may be a candidate for a liver transplant.

We need more info. For example, a person with kidney failure can live minutes after diagnosis or they can live for over 20 years. It depends on whether they have other medical problems, if the liver failure is treatable/transplantable, and other factors.

For Pete's sake keep a close watch on your friend. My sister died of liver disease when she could have recovered, albeit with a reduced life expectancy (she died at age 40). The liver disease was alcohol-related. The hospital allowed her out for a day to attend to 'personal affairs', but I suspect she went straight out on the day and hit the bottle (she'd been dry for three weeks, whilst in hospital). I found a half-drunk bottle of cheap sherry on her desk when I entered her house (as executor) after her death.
A very good man that I knew ended up, at forty, with 10% of his liver left, due to excessive consumption of gin. He was hospitalised, dried out, and had to endure six months without any alcohol . Following this, he was allowed to drink beer, but nothing else in the alcohol department.. He lived for another twenty years, and died from a heart attack, which had no relevance to his past liver problem.
There is therefore a bit of hope. I cannot ascertain from the information that you have given, whether the failure is total. The liver rarely gives up, except in cancer - it is the only organ in the body that can regenerate its own tissue.
Don't rely on Yahoo Answers on questions as serious as this. Get advice, from a Doctor of Medicine.

Interesting question.s is her liver completely shut down. Cuz even if she only has 10% of her liver she could recover and give them time to find a treatment or transplant for her.

I'm afraid not. Your liver is essential to life and therefore you can't live without it. She probabaly has about a week of intense pain unless you get a transplant or the doctor says otherwise.

i'm don't think she will live so long. but it all depends on how bad the liver is. if it is really really really bad she might only live for a few hours. if it is not too bad, it eventually might might be treated
