Your kidney function is borderline low for your age even after accounting for a mildly low volume when you had that blood test done. I assume you are not taking any medication because you did not mention. If your blood pressure is normal (less than 120/80) and urine test is negative, you should not worry too much. If not, you can request to be seen by a kidney doctor.
