Ask for a consult to a Nephrologist. People live on alot less than 40% but you need to have this followed closely.

You can live just fine on 20% of kidney function. But you should have it checked every so often from now on. If you're diabetic, it could be that you have nephropathy and your kidneys function is slowly decreasing.

Depending on the cause of the loss of function, your doc may not be able to do anything about it. However, you should go to a nephrologist so you can be more closely monitored.
