Hi @Damonite
Creatinine is a substance that your kidneys filter out of blood, a good indicator of how well your kidneys are functioning and, with a result of 72 you seem to have pretty efficient kidneys, in my opinion.
TSH is Thyroid Stimulating Hormone - a measure doctors use re your status of thyroid function. With your TSH of 0.89 I wonder if you are taking thyroxine medication. This result is usually considered very good, assuming you don't have symptoms etc
Urine Albumin - again, a measure of kidney function, this time measuring protien in urine, of which <5 sounds pretty good to me
Urine ACR - Urine albumin to creatinine ratio - another test re kidney function but, in your case, not done. Maybe not done because both your Albumin and Creatonine are low (healthy)
Hope that helps

The reference range for TSH is 0.4 to 4.0, and it is within that range.
TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone, which is produced by the pituitary gland and controls the amount of thyroxine produced by your thyroid gland.
It tends to be higher than the range in people who do not produce enough of their own thyroxine, and lower than the range if they produce too much.
