Help finding clues in blood test results

Hi There, looking for some help interpreting some thyroid and renal blood test results in hope of being able to get a diagnosis. Based in the UK.

Background: Ever since I had my son two years ago I have had the following issues...bilateral swollen legs (worse in right ankle), heavy periods, depression, thinning hair, brain fog, forgetting words and clumsy, tinnitus, dry skin, can't loose pregnancy weight, numb toes. Many things which have been written off as being a new mum.

My Ferritin levels are 25, Having took a course of three months iron supplements and five b12 injections things did improve but not resolved and now symptoms have returned. Awaiting results iron/b12 retest to see if need further treatment.

I paid for several private thyroid tests over the last year as GP seems reluctant to consider this and the Thyroid UK group helped review and suggested hypothyroid could be the issue.

I have a GP appointment Friday to get my latest blood tests and will raise this again. My question here is on renal test results I have from Feb this year and whether things could be linked? Water retention in legs appears to be reoccurring symptom with kidney issues?

Renal and thyroid test results attached for reference.

Any help much appreciated as so tired of feeling unwell. TIA 😊

I should add, no GP has ever mentioned the reference to CKD stage 1 on my results.

strange he should have done Kidney function test at time of my thyroxine annual test but glad he did. It was done very early morning so my fluids were minimal and read from this site and UK nice guidelines that hydration is important before this test.
