Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Ganaton is not associated with kidney disease and is not known to affect the GFR.
GFR can decrease with age.
GFR is normal if it is 90 and above so your value is below the norm as you indicated.If it is was normal in Jan 2013,it would unusual for it to deterioate in such a short space of time in most persons.
You may want to consider speaking to your doctor to find out if the cause can be determined.
I hope this helps
