“GFR”
Is it possible to measure the GFR of only one of your two kidneys to see how that kidney, which was temporarily obstructed due to a stone, is functioning compared to the other?

Yes, there are ways to measure the GFR of each one of the kidneys usually in the nuclear medicine labs, but this testing is not routinely performed unless there is a surgical intervention is planned on the kidneys. Consult with your doctor.
Yes you could do a test called Renal scan. It is a nuclear medicine test to see how well each of your kidneys work. The kidney scan also shows how your kidneys look. The medical term for a kidney scan is renal scintigraphy.
