Your kidneys are alarming, the rest of the markers are "usual" and manageable.
eGFR is based off creatinine level... obviously, your is 1.66... that's extremely high. It's a good number if you're trying to pack on mass... so, that part of your plan is working.
What's your diet like? I imagine with creatinine at 1.66, you're eating a lot of protein... I estimate it's over 300 grams/day based on your weight. 300 grams of protein/day is putting a huge strain on your kidneys, along with the gear, BP, dhydration, etc. Need to ease the strain.
As far as diet, supplement with 8000mg/day of astralagus root.. it will improve blood flow to the kidneys and reduce protein in the urine (albuminurea).
TUDCA, Milk Thistle, Glutathione, NAC, Fish oil & Vit D are only going to help with liver and lipids.
Yes hydrate, start drinking a lot of water, and supplement with electolyte if still training. Find an electrolyte powder with Himalayan salt and about 1 gram of Taurine. You should be pissing every 30 mins.
Get on BP meds if you're not already, and check your BP 3 times a day until you have the right dosage/BP. High BP will strain and destroy the kidneys.
As far as tests, Cystatin C AND Albuminurea (urine albumin-creatinine ratio (uACR) test). This will give a better picture of kidney health. Then, re-test every 30 days. If within 3 months your eGFR and kidney markers havn't improved (they should), it's time.
