Lupus dx. wbc from 11 to 18. trace blood and protein in urine-- feel weak, swollen chest nodes- chest xray/mammo/us all clear.. bronchitis & sinusitis?

White count high: With the high white count we would think of the steroid therapy or an infection. People with lupus usually have a low white count. With your smoking you have a greater risk of infection and cardiovascular comorbidities that we see with lupus. You may need to have those lymph nodes looked at an even see an infectious disease specialist. Speak with your physician about that.
