There are reading for AST and ALT which have to do with your liver, if these are high then it tells you something (any number of things) is up with your liver, he could have been talking about one of these, but we can't be sure until you get clarity from your doctor.  Maybe you can get a copy of your blood test and then the results will make more sense to those in the know here?

There is no such thing as a "liver count". A count of what? First call your doctor and get the facts first (1200 what?) then we can help you.

Good luck.
