I got the blood panels back for my cats. Could someone help me with interpreting the numbers (are they good/normal/bad)?

Minka (12 years old, 8.0 pounds, lean)
  • Glucose: 109.0 mg/dL
  • Urea Nitrogen: 30.0 mg/dL
  • Creatinine 1.6 mg/dL
  • Total Protein 9.3 g/dL <- This was tagged as high, with a normal range listed as 5.2-8.8
  • Albumin 1.3 g/dL
  • Total Bilirubin 0.1 mg/dL
  • Alkaline Phosph 20.0 U/L
  • ALT (SGPT) 44.0 U/L
  • AST (SGOT) 19.0 U/L
  • Cholesterol 207.0 mg/DL
  • Phosphorous 4.2 mg/DL
  • Sodium 157.0 mEq/L
  • Potassium 5.2 mEq/L
Oh my god, there are so many more! For the rest, I'll just list the ones that are marked as being out of range:
  • Globulin 5.8 g/dL
  • CPK 49.0 U/L
  • GGTP 0.0 U/L
  • Hemoglobin 15.7 g/dL
  • Hematocrit 50.0%
  • RBC 10.5 10^6
