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
