No one could answer that unfortunately.
Its very slow moving as per my physician but no one knows. Everyone progresses differently.
One person could take 25 years to go from 1 to 4.
Someone else could progress rapidly..........

If your liver damage is stage 1 how fast can it go to stage 4?

It means roughly your 3/4 of the way to cirhossis.  Nobody can tell you about mortality - only God know the answer to that one.

Stage 1- Inflammation
State  2- Fibrosis
Stage 3- More Fibrosis
Stage 4- Cirhossis

once you reach cirhossis I believe there are stages for cirhossis.
