Brief Answer:
Hypothyroidism and elevated bilirubin..

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I went through your reports with diligence. My observations are:
1. You have borderline TSH (upper limits) with a low T3 value. It seems like hypothyroidism. Do you have history of hypothyroidism or taking medications for it? If not, I suggest you get complete thyroid function tests done (TSH, T3 and T4) along with free T3 and free T4. You may need thyroid supplements based on the test results.
2. Bilirubin (total) is above normal limits. As all other parameters are normal, it could be due a benign condition - absence of a hormone that metabolizes bilirubin (Gilbert's syndrome). It doesn't need medical attention unless you are symptomatic.
3. Vitamin D levels are borderline low (insufficient state). I think it needs no medical supplements.

All other parameters are either normal or not significant.

Hope I have answered your questions. Let me know if you have any other specific questions.

Regards
