Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.
Hyperthyroidism can affect multiple organs of our body.Liver can also be affected.so abnormal liver profile might present.
So treat hyperthyroidism with drugs.
Doctor want to do USG just to rule out fatty liver or hepatitis like changes.
If fatty liver, hepatitis or cirrhosis present then also abnormal liver profile can present.
So perform USG as advised by doctor.
Meanwhile take care of liver by taking low fat diet , fruits more and green leaf veg..
Regular exercise done.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
