Brief Answer:
Endocrine
Detailed Answer:
I would like to know the upper limit of calcium on your laboratory report. Blood calcium levels can be measured using various methods that may vary from lab to lab. So the 10.4 does seem to be on the higher side but one needs to confirm this by looking at your report carefully. Regarding the vitamin D of 19, that is certainly deficient. Before a decision to treat it is considered, one needs to make sure the calcium is not high. The reason is that treating low vitamin D in the face of a high calcium can further raise the blood calcium levels. This tends to be a problem. Regarding the other labs, your TSH is normal and the best way to interpret the estradiol levels is to ask you if your menstrual cycles are regular
