Hi,
How are you? Removal of the liver is fatal to the patient. The liver has plenty of functions that are important to the body such as storage of vitamins, minerals, and sugars; filters the  blood and remove harmful substances among its functions. Without the liver the body easily gets attacked by microorganisms and can not survive. Take care and regards.
