A member asked:
What does 2+ protein in urine mean in relation to lupus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: It may mean nothing or it may be significant. You need 24 hour urine collections to quantitate to amount of protein excreted as well as a precise measurement of kidney function. You also need an examination of the urine sediment to look for abnormalities there. Speak with your rheumatologist.
