Brief Answer:
Thyroid
Detailed Answer:
Clearly your TSH is high at 14. If you are on thyroid medication called levo thyroxine, then you ought to discuss with your endocrinologist about a dose increase to achieve target TSH levels.
There are abnormalities in your urine report which are unrelated to the thyroid problem but still need to be addressed by your kidney doctor.
Regarding the adrenal adenomas, you need to get examined in-person by an endocrinologist for a comprehensive evaluation. This would entail further testing in the form of hormone related work up such as
Midnight Saliva cortisol test
Plasma Free Metanephrines
ARR (Aldosterone Renin Ratio)
in addition to periodic CT scans to monitor the size and growth trends
