What Causes Raised Creatinine Levels After Kidney Surgery?

I just received my medical report from my Dr. I had kidney surgery to remove quarter sized stones 7 years ago. Now my creatinine level is 1.15 and my eGFR is 52( low ). I have no insurance and to go to Dr. will cost $360 just to get in the door. Is this life threatening? My Potassium is 3.4 and my Calcium is 11.1. Is there anything I can do to make this better? Diet, vitamins? Exercise?
