Brief Answer:
Hello dear. It is acceptable.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So a mild variation in gfr is a reflection of mild variation in creatinine which is acceptable. Continue with your treatment. You can take influenza and pneumococcal vaccine to reduce risk of pneumonitis.
Thanks and regards
