You can request your doctor to get a renal profile and renal function tests done.A ultrasound /Ct Scan KUB would also be desirable to establish a baseline .Keeping well hydrated by adequate intake of water and fluids,getting a early check done in case of dysuria,controling protein intake will all help in preventing any further deterioration in renal function.
