I checked and found USDA to list some 6 g of carb for liver (potatoe
20g) per 100 g. That's about what Elizabeth reported.
But if they listed less - it could easily be the case as well.

A liver stores only about 1/2 day of fuel (1500kcal).

Without food, therefore it would need about 12 hours to be used up.

Animals to be slaughtered often travel a lot inside naughty trucks
toward a slaughterhouse. That's a big point of criticism on the cruelty
before animal slaughtering.
Sometimes they travel for days - much more than 12 hours.

Liver carb would go down in these hours.
At the same time a lot of stress hormones build up.
Better to have high carb liver if any, IMO.
