Probably not key: I've been following your questions. Especially at age 34, anemia due simply to lack of erythropoietin is extremely uncommon, kidney troubles or no. You need to look for some other cause. Erythropoietin itself is produced irregularly and unless it's way below the reference range (which is set so that several % of healthies fall outside), I'd consider ignoring the result.
