What Could Cause Raised LFT?

Hi, I have recently had blood tests taken and my LFTs have come back raised. I am going to see my GP tomorrow so do not have any figures unfortunately. For approximately a week before having my blood taken I had been consuming Lucozade on a daily basis. Could this have affected my LFT results? Many thanks.

If you are drinking alcohol then also it is raised...as alcohol toxic to liver....
