The SGPT (ALT), BUN and CREA are fine to do as preliminary tests. If they are normal, that is great! If there are any abnormalities with these values there are other tests that can be done to evaluate kidney and liver health but you would have to ask after you get the results for us to be able to properly recommend any other tests.
