Hi,
As per your reports above, all the parameters are within normal range except GFR which should be more than 60. Please check the reference value given in the test report to confirm the normal range as per the test they have conducted.
Low GFR usually indicates a kidney disease however other indicators of your kidney functioning are normal so there is no reason to worry but I would advise you to repeat it and if the report is same then seek a consultation with your treating doctor. Please get yourself tested for Addison's disease if you suspect it. These tests do not confirm the presence of the disease or otherwise.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
