Hi,
Anemia in your case can have different causes. It can be as a cause of kidney disease, also it can be a result of malnutrition. In case it is mild anemia and related to malnutrition, it can be corrected with appropriate diet and there is n need for treatment. But if anemia is more than mild, it should be treated. I don't know your data, so I can't answer why you weren't prescribed a medication. I would advise you to discuss this with your doctor.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
