Here are some...: Before drawing a conclusion, the reported data suggesting renal function should be compared & correlated with clinical pictures and serial tests over time; in fact, these could be "normal" for you at this time. If clinically warranted, a formal evaluation, urinalysis, and renal ultrasound may be required, but surely not urgent if lacking undesirable Hx in urinary tract. More? Ask doc timely.

Don't worry.: your kidney function of 70 is the estimated glomerular filtration estimate,(GFR), based on your creatinine level. 60 to 90 is considered stage 2 chronic kidney disease. Usually, improved hydration and verify a normal blood pressure, and avoid NSAIDs like Advil and Aleve (naproxen).
