Hi & Welcome.
Incomplete data like age, gender, name of the medications taken for hyperuricemia.

Assuming that you had taken Allopurinol for the treatment of hyperuricemia, the elevated liver enzymes (SGOT & SGPT) are suggestive of liver injury (inflammation) caused by Allopurinol.
This is a reversible condition upon discontinuing Allopurinol.
Consult your treating physician for a safer medication if the uric acid level continues to be high.
Beside medications, avoid eating red meat, beans, and drink plenty of water.
Hope this answers your query.
