This is not enough information to provide a good answer. Questions you have already submitted are not connected to this one.There are many possible underlying causes for the results you provided; trace blood cells may not mean anything bad. This alone does not mean lupus.Your doctor can provide the best answer with more information; or re-submit with reason for testing, any symptoms, more history.

Dipstick test does not show red cells but degradation products from them and is frequently false positive. . If the microscopic exam did not show any RBCs then your doc is right. Lupus is a long stretch- pl dont try self diagnosis as it is mostly wrong and unnecessarily worrying. Enjoy life
