A combined kidney and liver panel measures blood markers that reflect how well both organs are functioning. It typically includes kidney measures such as blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and electrolytes, alongside liver measures such as albumin, total protein, alkaline phosphatase, ALT, AST, and bilirubin. Clinicians order it when symptoms or medication monitoring require a broad look at kidney and liver health at once.

• Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) A waste product that reflects kidney function and hydration.
• Creatinine A muscle waste product used to estimate kidney filtration.
• Sodium An electrolyte involved in fluid balance.
• Potassium An electrolyte important for heart and muscle function.
• Chloride An electrolyte that helps maintain acid-base balance.
• Carbon dioxide (bicarbonate) A marker of acid-base balance.
• Albumin A liver protein that helps maintain fluid balance.
• Total protein Combined measure of blood proteins.
• Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) An enzyme related to liver and bile ducts.
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) A liver enzyme.
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) An enzyme found in liver and other tissues.
• Total bilirubin A pigment processed by the liver.
• Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) A liver and bile duct enzyme.

• People taking medications that can affect the kidney or liver.
• Individuals with fatigue, swelling, or jaundice.
• Those with known kidney or liver conditions.
• People with diabetes or high blood pressure.
• Anyone with abnormal organ-function results on prior testing.

• Fasting may be requested, often 8 to 12 hours; confirm with the provider.
• Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before the draw.
• Avoid strenuous exercise before testing.
• Tell the provider about all medications and supplements.
• Water is usually allowed unless told otherwise.

BUN, creatinine, and electrolytes reflect kidney function and fluid balance, while albumin, total protein, ALP, ALT, AST, bilirubin, and GGT reflect liver function and bile flow. Patterns across the panel matter more than one value, and results are often compared with prior testing. Abnormal findings are not a diagnosis on their own. Discuss them with a healthcare provider.
