I have had back pain for the past week around mid back. Also feeling nauseous, sweats and generally unwell again!!!

I saw doc on Wednesday who said kidney infection but rang today for urine results and they are clear would it still be kidney infection??

Just as a precaution, if you have SLE, make sure one of your Doctor/s have done a full run of kidney (blood and urine) tests, some eg's. Urinary Protien/creatinine Ratio, Renal function and electrolytes, , Urine M/C & S. etc.

These are pretty standard SLE preventative medicine type tests, something your Rheumatologist should have already done ?
