Liver: the elevated Billi is concerning and needs to be checked. Your BUN is 10 if your retio is 43 with a creat of .23. A BUN of 10 is normal range.

Kidney function: The results you listed are more related to renal function. Make sure you are drinking enough water and that you f/u with your doctor. This can happen when you are dehydrated, have an infection (viral or bacterial) with certain medications. Find out what the cause of the dysfunction is so that you can properly address and treat it. Good luck, hope you feel better soon
