These are close enough the the common normal levels cited in various labs that I would NEVER worry about them. It sounds like you have a few other issues to worry about. I would drop this one from the list.

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, your results are not a cause for concern. Wish you good health!
