Hi
Your liver enzymes show mild to moderate elevation.
There is now an alternative for uric acid - febuxostat for example.
Statins are well known to affect liver function. Fibrate is a reasonable alternative - especially if triglyceride also is high. A smaller dose of statin in combination with ezetimibe could also help
Repeat the liver function - change the drugs, if they are not down
Hopefully, no alcohol!
Keep following up with the doctor who is in charge - he can guide you well.
Good luck
