Anemia : Anemia can be the result of low erythropoietin as a result of chronic kidney disease. Kidney disease is considered chronic when the lab findings are consistent for 3 more months. So, it is uncertain if this person's results are a result of chronic kidney disease based on one reading. Anemia can be the result of one or multiple factors, such as micro bleeding, low iron, B12, folate, genetic issue

Ast 13 low alkaline phosphatase 28 low. Rbc 3.85 low hemoglobin 11.3 low hematocrit 34.1 low. The rest are normal. Your opinion please anything stands?
