Most of your tests are normal. As you already mentioned glucose is towards the higher side. Prothrombin time and INR are also borderline high. If you are not taking any medications, however, they are very mildly increased can be due to sampling problems also as it is a very sensitive test. So nothing to worry!
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
