For the past few years, I always have blood in my urine. My rheumatologist sent me to a nephrologist who also discovered it during a routine dip. I did a 24 hour urine and it came out fine. Due to my past (Lupus and Vasculitis) he is having me get checked once a month. He said if the blood amount is larger or I have protein in my urine, he would like to do a kidney biopsy. Last night, I had a routine dip and now have a small amount of protein. Oddly enough, no blood. My primary doctor said it could be due to it being the end of the day. I do take blood pressure medication and Mobic along with plaquenil, premarin, and bactrim. My ankles, feet and hands swell also.
Just wanted to know if I should be concerned. My doctor said he will be sending a letter to my nephrologist regarding the protein.
Thanks for any help!
