[quote=Anonymous]I have a family friend who is in the hospital for end stage liver failure. She's only 40 but she is an alcoholic. Because of the alcoholism, she isn't eligible for a transplant (has to be sober for 6 months). Her family is understandably trying to stay hopeful, but it sounds grim. Her MELD score is 40 and her kidneys are only functioning at 35%. Realistically, if she's at the point where the specialists have said her liver has failed, is there any hope of recovery? I know two people who have gone into liver failure and both passed away within a few weeks. It's such a sad situation and my heart breaks for her family.[/quote]
