See below: Aall tests have a margin of error - meaning that if you repeated the tests , you might get a slightly different results - all your numbers are close to the normal results in the lab you used - If you are concerned discuss this with your doctor(you do not mention amount of calcium oxalate crystals) - crystals can occur with kidney stones, but also dyhydration -so again discuss with your doc-

Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, none of the results are worrisome. Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless to lessen the effect of crystals. Wish you good health!
