Urice acid values high normal. This may be because of creatine supplements.
ALT values double the normal range indicates liver injury . Supplements might have caused this.
Next Steps
Repeat Liver Function Tests 1 week after stopping supplements to know the exact cause.

SGPT/ALT 876 U/L is significantly elevated and should not be attributed to whey protein, creatine, or a high-protein diet without further evaluation.
I would recommend stopping non-essential supplements and strenuous workouts temporarily and getting a proper liver evaluation, including repeat LFT with bilirubin/ALP/GGT, PT/INR, CBC, viral hepatitis screening and ultrasound abdomen, along with a review of all medicines/supplements and alcohol intake.
Uric acid 7.8 also deserves dietary and metabolic assessment, but the markedly elevated ALT needs priority. Please consult a physician/gastroenterologist promptly rather than self-treating.
You can consult me on Practo for a detailed assessment and a step-by-step plan based on your complete reports and history.

The values are increased because of your diet and gym routine. Creatine and heavy exercise can cause elevated uric acid. Dehydration is also common cause for elevated uric acid levels.
If you take any other medications consult doctor regarding it.
Stay hydrated.Have balanced diet. Don’t skip on essential fats and carbs. Avoid alcohol.

Because you exercise daily, AST can rise from skeletal-muscle injury after intense workouts. However, ALT 87.6 is more liver-specific, so it shouldn't automatically be attributed to gym/exercise. Supplements and medications should also be reviewed when liver enzymes are elevated.
Whey protein itself is not automatically the cause, but check the exact product and any other supplements—especially pre-workout, fat burners, herbal products, testosterone/test boosters.
For uric acid 7.8: good hydration, avoid excessive alcohol and very high-purine intake
Next Steps
Take a break from intense gym training for about 5–7 days, then repeat:
AST/SGOT
ALT/SGPT
ALP
GGT
Total/direct bilirubin
CK/CPK
Health Tips
If still elevated, discuss HBsAg, anti-HCV, ultrasound abdomen/liver, and metabolic assessment and you can consult me for further treatment options.

As your report shows, uric acid (7.8 mg/dL) is slightly elevated and liver enzymes are also elevated. Uric acid can be affected by dehydration and a high-protein diet. Elevated liver enzymes can occur due to fatty liver, alcohol, medications/supplements, or temporarily after strenuous exercise.
Next Steps
Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol and unnecessary supplements, and repeat LFT and uric acid as advised. If levels remain elevated, consult a physician for further evaluation.
Health Tips
Avoid intense workouts for a few days before repeating the liver tests.Avoid unnecessary supplements, and don’t stop prescribed medicines without medical advice.If the liver enzymes remain high, consult a doctor for further evaluation.

Do you consume alcohol? Because your SGOT AND SGPT are not a result of something acute. It is definitely chronic. May be transient too. Red meat, alcohol and dehydration can lead to increased uric acid.
Next Steps
Hydrate yourself properly while workout. Sweat tends to increase dehydration and loss of electrolytes. Replenishment of electrolytes is as important as hydration. Switch your protein diet from red meat( liver, kidney, mutton) to plant based protein, eggs, greek yogurt etc. Chicken also in moderation.

These results need proper confirmation. Uric acid 7.8 is elevated and the liver enzymes are raised, so do not ignore them. Avoid alcohol, unnecessary painkillers and high-protein supplements until reviewed. I would also check your medicines, weight, blood pressure and repeat liver/kidney tests with bilirubin, ALP/GGT, CBC and creatinine.
Next Steps
Please see a physician within a few days with the complete report. Do not start gout medicine on this report alone. Seek urgent care for jaundice, severe abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, confusion or very low urine. You can book a Practo consult with me or visit Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj for review.

uric acid (7.8) and liver enzymes (ALT 87.6, AST 47.6) are mildly elevated. Avoid alcohol and strenuous workouts for 5–7 days, stay well hydrated, and temporarily avoid nonessential supplements. Repeat LFT, kidney function, and CK after consulting a physician. Consider hepatitis screening and liver ultrasound if enzymes remain elevated.

Your uric acid, SGPT and SGOT readings can all rise temporarily with intense training, creatine, and a high protein diet, so one self-test isn't enough to draw conclusions from. These aren't necessarily signs of a problem on their own.
Next Steps
Please get these repeated at a proper lab after a few days of lighter training, and see a general physician to review the results with you.
Health Tips
If the numbers stay high on a repeat test, please don't ignore it. Persistently raised liver enzymes need a proper workup.
