High liver count is caused by damage to, and death of, liver cells. Enzymes leak out into the blood, and these can be counted and thus provide the liver count.
Cause are many, but Alcoholism and drug abuse are major contributors. Hepatitis, inflammation of the liver is another.
Also, mononucleosis will cause increased liver count.
These are a few of a great many causes to high liver count.

Also, some medications will cause a higher than normal liver count.

A high liver count is usually reversible. This is due to the livers high ability for regeneration even after massive damage.
