What this test is
The Kidney & Liver Tests panel is a group of laboratory analyses used to evaluate the function and health of these vital organs. It helps identify potential issues or monitor existing conditions affecting kidney and liver performance.
What it measures
Albumin — reflects liver function and protein levels
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) — can indicate liver or bone issues
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) — a marker of liver damage
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) — another marker of liver damage
Bilirubin — reflects liver's ability to process waste
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) — measures kidney function
Creatinine — a key indicator of kidney function
Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) — can indicate liver disease
What the test involves
A sample is typically collected through a standard blood draw from a vein in your arm. The collected blood is then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Why it is often ordered
Clinicians often order these tests to screen for or diagnose diseases affecting the kidneys or liver. They can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments or the progression of a known condition.
