Hello
i appreciate your concern
protein losing in urine is suggestive of lupus affecting the kidney like nephrotic syndrome
You should get 24 hour urine protein estimation and a kidney biopsy to ascertain the extent of damage
In my opinion you should consult a nephrologist for further course of action
Hope this addresses your question
Best wishes
