my first guess would be autoimmune hepatitis. second guess would be a bacterial hepatitis.
She is most likely too young to have liver problems from viral or alcohol hepatits

She takes too much Tylenol or something similar, or drinks a lot. I had an overdose on Tylenol when I stopped taking an antidepressant at 19, and thank God I didn't die. Anyway, my dr. had said taking all that stuff messed up my liver so bad that I would have problems for like 2 years. I did too. Thank God though He has changed my life and I don't have anything wrong now. It is truly a miracle I am still alive. People don't realize how little things can affect their bodies.

Taking tylenol and its derivatives can cause serious problems if alcohol is consumed near the same time.
Too much alcohol and drugs can also age or cause cirhossis (sp?) of the liver.
She needs help from a nutritionist to arrest the deterioration of her liver. 18 is too young to die.

Liver damage can be caused by drugs, alcohol, or disease (such as Hep C). Also if she takes prescription medication it could damage the liver, however her doctor would most likely know about those. My money would be on drugs and alcohol.

Prescription medicine. Alcohol. Drugs. Anorexia. Bulemia. Genetics. Liver disease. Hepatitis. Did you ask the doctor WHY she has this issue?

there are various human beings, the two men and ladies folk, who've died of cirrhosis of the liver from some years of alcohol abuse. The experts provide an estimate of 10+ years of heavy eating could reason cirrhosis of the liver to type, even though it could take many years for some human beings, on an analogous time as for others it somewhat is decrease than 10 years. truthfully everyone seems to be diverse of their time-physique for destroying a liver. There are different motives cirrhosis of the liver can type different than alcohol abuse alongside with viral hepatitis A,B,C, and D, autoimmune ailment, biliary ailment, fatty liver that progresses from NASH, iron overload, and medicines being the main person-friendly ones. in my view, I even have had 2 cousins that the two died from cirrhosis (beer in ordinary terms) in the previous they have been 40. One exchange into 38 and one exchange into 37. the two have been healthy men that had no longer something incorrect different than being alcoholics which killed them. this is totally unhappy considering the fact that they the two left youthful infants in the back of that mandatory their fathers very lots. each and every of the indications you indexed are somewhat person-friendly in people who're alcoholics. I doubt it exchange into from something including to the undertaking because of the fact this is no longer all that uncommon in the event that they began out eating of their mid teen years. I had cirrhosis from a biliary ailment and had to get a liver transplant. I waited on one for 18 months and observed many many youthful men of their 40's attempting to get a transplant from liver failure by using their eating. this is extraordinarily confusing for an alcoholic to get a transplant because of the numerous extra standards for them considering the fact that they'll in no way have the means to drink alcohol returned for something of their existence and could desire to be dedicated to entire way of existence exchange in the previous they may even start to contemplate them for one. Your father could have further to his situation in multiple techniques, yet likely it exchange into the alcohol that quite killed him and it exchange into in ordinary terms a count of time. i'm sorry on your loss.
