Sorry about your friend, but actually no it's not true. If you beat your liver down it will function up till there is only about 20% left. Only then do you become symptomatic. Funny thing that liver, you can get by for so long. But once you become symptomatic things usually go down hill pretty quick. They have transplants but it sounds like he is past that point. Hope is a good thing. Don't lose hope. Stay realistic. Good luck. I'm really sorry.
