Dear patient,
don't worry, it happens very often and you have only a mild decline of the renal function. Make sure to avoid smoke, high salt intake, do an healthy lifestyle, do not use nephrotoxic drugs (e.g. NSAIDs). Do frequent controls of renal function (once a year) and, only if renal function will drop under 60 ml/min there is indication to use the so called "antiprogression" with ramipril and low protein diet. Before this limit, these recommendations are not helpful at all.
