See answer: Lupus, an autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disease that can affect the joints, skin, kidneys, lungs, nervous system and other organs. About 1.5 million americans have lupus, and 1/3 will develop kidney involvement characterized by protein in the urine and elevated blood creatinine levels. Trace leukocytes in the urine by itself and unassociated with urinary symptoms is most often normal finding.

I am 34 w/ lupus...my urinalysis had trace protein, hyaline cast 0-5, wbc 0-5, squamous epithelial cell 6-10. Doctor retesting...what does this mean?
Doc thinks I have Lupus due to many symptoms and ANA positive. Urinalysis was positive for protein and leukocytes at 1+ and negative for nitrites. I have many Lupus symptoms but also bladder pain for months. Is this result likely Lupus or uti related?
My urinalysis always shows trace leukocyte estrace any cause for concern (I have lupus so tested every 3-6 months)?
So now dipstick shows no protein but trace red blood cells! Urinalysis showed trace protein with wbc and leukocyte. Dr said dipstick result doesnt mean much! Does this mean lupus or something?
What could these mean in a urinalysis (doc says it's not a UTI despite symptoms) leukocyte: pos, bacteria: +1, squamous epithelial: +1 LPK, mucus: +1?
