Richard, Your kidney function is still doing relitively well, but you need to keep an eye on it. Of course these TKI's do have an effect on your kidney function but so do many other things. As you age your kidney function decreasses.
If you are not diabetic then start drinking Cranberry juice it really helps clean your kidneys.
