Quick analysis
1) you were dehydrated when you did the bloodwork
2) you need an AI on a low dose of testosterone
3) look at your diet for what may be causing the issue with Cholesterol

I figured as much, on all you mentioned . But on the question of the AI, any suggestions as to what I might take, and dosage?. My diet has been atrocious lately, But that is something I know I can fix... Thank you sir....

The AI dose is person dependent. You’re going to have to try a dose for two weeks and then get bloodwork again and readjust if you have to. Maybe try .5mg Arimidex twice a week. (Monday/Thursday)

There appear to be several things here. Most obvious is chronic kidney disease. Even the elevated estrogen is found in CKD. Low ALP too. Hypothyroid can play into CKD as well.
As a cheap, simple, safe experiment, try 50-100mg thiamine each day for a couple weeks before next blood draw.
More history might help. Older blood tests, weight, height, insomnia?, parkinson's?, osteoporosis?, cardiovascular issues?

Just looked again after @Old’s reply. I miss the chronic kidney disease. Also what’s going on with your prolactin?

Forgot to mention, you do well to take a little iodine as well. Don't need to mass dose, just a few times RDA.
Iodine is essential for thyroid. Also, metabolic pathways are shared for making both dopamine and thyroid hormones. Low dopamine causes higher prolactin which reduces GnRH which reduces natural T production. Other things such as sleep loss or anxiety can elevate prolactin as well.
Again, need more information regarding health status, kidney stones, blood pressure, natural T levels before TRT, and previous tests including kidney function.

Thanks again for all you input. I am on TRT of 100mgs, dosed twice a week. Stared with 200mgs a month , but started to brake out with acne something fierce. so they lowered my dose to the current regimen.This is the first time my blood work has come back with this many issues. The high creatnin level is simply from the high protein diet and heavy weight training I do, si I've been told. I am on thyroid meds, Levothyroxin, 50mcg. I do take BP meds as well lisinopril 12.5. I not sure whats causing the prolactin thing, but I think it has something to do with the cortisol. Also this is the first time my e2 has been high. Never taken an AI, since I started TRT. I have bee going to a GP when I had my test levels checked, and I don't think she's too familiar TRT or how the hormone thing works. I think my dht levels are out of wack as well., hence perhaps the acne. Am I missing anything else?.... Again, thanks all

Your DHT looks fine. Your free DHT is in range but suggests low or low-normal SHBG -- which would mean E2 is NOT high.
The problem is your doc did 'estrogens' but not E2. E2 will be lowered with and AI but it is hard to say about the others since they can be generated in ways other than from E2. Also, doc did not do free T or SHBG.
What do you mean cortisol? (not showing on blood test).
Are you lean, fit and muscular from bodybuilding? If so, eGFR will be artificially low. Again, what is your height and weight?
The kidney concern is that if you really have CKD, then you must now lower your protein. The proteinurea suggests CKD. If your kidneys are fine, then you can continue to eat plenty of protein.
Again suggest you provide more history and trying thiamine (for E2 clearance) and iodine (thyroid and prolactin).

If you are on nothing but that dose of T, high prolactin comes from high E2 you need to manage that, also that elevated Cr is not from dehydration.

Good catch on the creatinine. I read that fast and was thinking about his bun levels. That makes sense in regards to the chronic kidney disease. All in all I think this is a conversation he should be having with his doctor.
Maybe I missed it but is the Uric Acid level on this test?
