Making sense of recent physical

Recently I had to take a physical, thorough one, for a life insurance policy. I will be out of town for a little while and today is labor day so I cannot call my doctor for clarification, which I will do, but I the mean time would like to hear what you all think.

I am 30, feel healthy and exercise as often as I can, when time permits. In fact I have lost 9 lbs in the last month or so and walk about 2 miles a night in addition to any other exercise. I am 5'11" and 190 pounds. I do drink alcohol and smoke a tobacco pipe on rare occasion.

The areas of concern/confusion are listed below and are all indicated to be "out of normal range":

ALT Liver reference range 0-49. My result is 63 U/L

AST Liver reference range 0-30. My result is 44 U/L

LDL/HDL Ratio refence range 1.5-5.5. My result is 1.13

LDL Heart reference range 90-130. My result is 65mg/dl

Cholesterol reference range 160-210. My result is 146 mg/dl

Urine Creatinine reference range greater than 20. My result 225.7 mg/dl !!

Everything else appears to be in really good ratios and ranges. I definitely googled that creatinine result and now am thoroughly terrified. Would be grateful for any light that anyone can shed.

Firstly please don't Google it's the worst thing anyone can do. Secondly most of your results are good and thirdly if it was anything major to worry about a doctor would of been in touch with you by now. They receive the results a lot sooner than we do so am positive they would of called you. And nothing to worry about until you actually find out if something is wrong so if you can just relax until you speak to someone x
