I recently had my annual blood tests. I was so wrapped up in my cholesterol tests that I never really studied the other ones as they seemed fine.

I had to download an app today (Airmid UK) to cancel a physio appointment in there. I then found the detailed Liver and Kidney test results.

Both are flagged as Boardeline but for the life of me I cannot make head nor tail of why!

Results

Kidney

Urea and electrolytes
Serum sodium level 139 mmol/L [133.0 - 146.0]

Serum potassium level 4.2 mmol/L [3.5 - 5.3]

Serum urea level 4.5 mmol/L [2.5 - 7.8]

Serum creatinine level 58 umol/L [45.0 - 84.0]

eGFR using creatinine (CKD-EPI) per 1.73 square metres > 90 mL/min/1.73m^2

Urine test was normal.

Liver function tests

Serum bilirubin level 7 umol/L [< 21.0]

Serum total protein level 72 g/L [60.0 - 80.0]

Serum albumin level 41 g/L [35.0 - 50.0]

Serum globulin level 31 g/L [21.0 - 35.0]

Serum alkaline phosphatase level 87 u/L [30.0 - 130.0]

Serum alanine aminotransferase level 22 u/L [< 34.0]

What am I missing and should I be worried?
 
Baffles me. All of them fall well within the normal ranges as quoted by the lab.

Can you ask your HCP why or exactly what is flagged as borderline?
I am loathed to, as I don’t have a good relationship with her due to my stance on statins. I am in the process of trying to change my GP. They haven’t contacted me about them so I am guessing they are not too worried.
