Elevated lft: That means one has an elevated liver function test (lft). Elevated lft's can be caused by multiple issues ranging form common obesity/overweight conditions (hepatic steatosis), medications, alcohol use, to viral hepatitis, just to name a few. See your dr. And get regular check ups and assure the lft elevation is followed up on and monitored by a dr. Best wishes.
