Are these tests necessary?

My doctor's office is requiring me to do liver and kidney lab work before it will renew my prescription for blood pressure medication. Is this normal? I have no symptoms of liver or kidney problems.

Very much normal. Standard practice. They wanna know if they are functioning correctly. I'm 28 and have had high blood pressure since I was 17. The same tests every 6 months are also done on me before they refill my medicine.
