Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
GGT is mildly elevated. Do you drink alcohol? If so, it may be related to that. If not, it may indicate a mild obstruction to the biliary flow. Your total cholesterol and the bad cholesterol LDL are mildly elevated. Are you taking any medicine for diabetes or prediabetes? Your HbA1c is in the normal range. This means that your average blood sugar over the last 3 months was in the lower range of normalcy. Your eGFR is high, indicating high perfusion of the kidneys. It may occur in people with prediabetes or in the early stages of diabetes, not a matter of concern.
Do get back to me with further queries if any.
