Hi,
I can understand your concern.
Lupus is a immunological disorder there is autoimmunity developed against body's own tissues. Also normal functioning of immune system is also hampered
Such patient are prone for developing various types of infection.
Further treatment of lupus may further hampers normal functioning of immune system leading to increased chances of infections.
Green colored stool in your wife is most likely due to stomach infection.
Lupus nephritis is one of the complications of lupus. In it kidney function is hampered significantly and kidney cannot remove water from body leading to retention of water which collected in subcutaneous tissues like in legs in walking patient and in back and legs in bed ridden patient.
As a part of lupus and underlying fluid collection the skin become fragile and water come out whenever there is scatch to overlying skin.
You should consult rheumatologist and nephrologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope this helps you, if so do vote.
