Fevers: The cause of your anemian and fevers may lie elsewhere than in your kidneys. See an internist or a rheumatologist for a complete workup a visit to a hematologist may also be valuble.

Problems: Your anemia (a) is due to something. Are you losing blood, is your marrow not making red blood cells, do you have a chronic disease, do you have hemolysis of cells, or do you have a hemoglobinopathy? What does your doc say about your a? Your proteinuria needs to be quantified with a 24 hour urine collection that will also reveal your kidney function. Have your physician get some blood work also.
