What i can say is that your urine result is positive for sjogren syndrome. And you are suffering from it. More than 50% of the patients present with antibodies for SSA and SSB. Your doctor will advise scintigraphy and biopsy for salivary glands. For Lupus the diagnostic test is ANA and Anti-dsDNA. May you get well soon.
