A member asked:

I have lupus and concerned with my test results having high levels of protein and blood in my urine. infection and blood clot in my kidney last year. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I'm concerned too: Lupus produces problems with the kidney filters more often than not, and this usually announces itself as blood and protein in the urine. Your physician knows how to manage this with others labs. If you had a renal vein thrombosis, it's very serious and you need long-term management by a competent nephrologist. Read up on lupus nephritis and on urinalysis and how to understand the big picture.
