Hi all
I've had persistent trace or low level amounts of protein in urine tests since April -checked on 5 occasions at hospital. Sometimes there is also trace amounts of blood or white cells too.
Is this something to worry about or just part of the disease?
I get cystitis a lot, but doesn't necessarily coincide with urine tests.
I also have high BP and heart rate - which is put down to steroids, was normal before I started prednisolone.
On the plus side I started methotrexate injections 6 weeks ago and have significantly less pain - like a lot less!! Hoping this means I can finally get off steroids.
I'm seeing GP next week about heart rate just wondering if I should ask for urine to be checked again and if these things are related.
Thanks all
