Don't panic yet! My GFR was out-of-range one month, and I also panicked after Googling what it could mean.

Definitely call your family doctor and have your BUN/creatinine tests redone. I would also ask for a urine test to look for protein. Be sure to be well hydrated before the tests, as this can throw off the numbers.

Have you ever had your EPO measured? If your kidneys are stressed, perhaps this could contribute to your anemia???

I hope it is just a transient event!
