Liver is a lovely organ that seldom complains. Once it complains there starts the real trouble. Please love your liver and care for it. Once your liver becomes dysfunctional you have to transplant it. And transplanting liver costs you a tremendous lot.

If the liver was to suddenly disappear from your body, a few seconds (death from exsanguination). If it was surgically removed and all endings and capillaries closed while you were in homeostasis, then perhaps a few minutes to hours. Eventually your body would be get blood poisoning, which would spread to important organs and would finally succumb to infection.
