Help, wife has unknown liver disease and failure

I’m scared for my wife. To give you some background, 34 years old with no alcohol problems, outside of the bad habit of couple drinks of wine a night. We recently did two rounds of IVF to have a 2nd child. During the pregancy, she got Pancreatitis twice and resulted in baby being delivered at 32 weeks and extended stay in NICU.

In the last 6 months she continued to have gull stone issues, as well as Chones disease, and lost 60 lbs. they did a procedure to put dye in the bile ducts to see if she needed to have her gull bladder removed. Shortly after, within 2 weeks, her stomach started to buldge and her eyes turn yellow. She went to the ER and they pumped 4 liters of fluid from her stomach, and told her she had liver failure, but they didn’t not know the cause.

At this point, I’m not sure what could have caused liver failure, and not sure how we went from gull stones to liver failure so quickly. Anyone have any advice on long term prognosis. She has no plans to ever touch Tynelonal or Alocohol, but this all started during pregancy, when she was not having any of those.
