What else have you tried?  How bad is the kidney disease, and how bad is the anemia?  Are there any other issues as well? 

Are you familiar with this website:  http://www.felinecrf.org/index.htm

I've had 3 kidney cats, but none of them ever ended up with anemia.  I do realize though, that's it's fairly common with kidney cats.  Here is the page within the above wetsite that not only discuss Anemia, but discusses treatments, including Epigen:  http://www.felinecrf.org/anaemia.htm

Let us know if you specific questions about it once you've looked it over.  Is there some reason why you don't want to follow your Vet's advice?
