Overall your kidney function is normal. However Lt kidney function is little lower. It could be due to recurrent urine infections in the past or could be due to high BP damaging Lt kidney. But don't worry. Avoid pain killers,non vegetarian diet. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
