Seems a new doc,,noticed my hearing loss and there is a kidney disease thats called alports disease that mimics lupus in lots of ways,,,way to diagnose it is.........Higher incidence in men (im a woman tho), hearing or eyesight loss/ kidney pain, protein, blood in urine..Elevated white blood cells, with lowered platelets.
What im tellin you here is ,,if you can get your protein level,,,,,your wbc white blood cell, platelet..........And you have any hearing loss or eyesight probs..Then alports needs ruled out.
If you have all of the above minus hearing and sight loss,,iga nephropathy needs to be ruled out.

Keep me posted!!!!!!!!!!
