1) alcohol consumption affect liver function and liver enzymes are predictors for that.
2) considering normal liver enzymes, this test looks fine
3) total protein means, level of protein in blood which is indirect indicator of liver function as protein formation occur in liver.
4) uric acid level is for renal function and purine metabolism without any correlation with liver function. but there is possibility if liver function damage due to high level of uric acid.
