Hi and welcome to HCM. thanks for the query.
I dont think so. I think that liver damage is caused only by alcohol. this is the first reason to think of. thera flu is not proved to be harmful for liver in recommended dosage. hematuria is probably caused by something else. Most commonly kidney stone or uroinfection. I suggest to reduce alcohol intake and then check your liver enzymes to see is there improvement. Hematuria requires more detailed urologic work up.
Wish you good health. Regards
