Liver & kidney failure - How much longer will she live?

Subject is a 47 year old female, 30lbs overweight with a long history of alcohol consumption. She is jaundiced throughout her body, has edema, and ascites (swollen stomach - around the 9month mark)

Her liver and kidneys are in failure mode.

How much longer can she be expected to live?

Thanks - Larry

btw, I have come to understand that the liver is way more important than most people might have guessed - maybe that is why it is so large, because it is so damned important. Once it goes, everything else apparently follows.
