Hi and welcome to HCM thanks for the query.
Well this is significant liver damage and i hope that there will be liver found for you. Liver insufficiency causes many symptoms and signs and black stool is one of them but it may also indicate upper gastrointestinal bleeding so you should not ignore it especially if you have esophageal varices. so you should do gastrocopy first.everythign else is hardly predictable and the course of liver disease varies from man to man.
Wish you good health. Regards
