Will It Be Safe To Use Cellcept And Prednisone For Systemic Lupus?
I have 25-50 epithelial cells on my uninalysis, listed as moderate ephithelial cells. What is the significance of this. I had a previous UTI with a different bacteria appearing about two days after.I completed the first antibiotic; I am now on augmentin. I am a 61 year old woman with Systemic Lupus and am on cellcept 2 grams, and prednisone, 9 mg.

hi it seems like it is a UTI if the test has come positive on culture.
however we also need to be careful that it is not some form of lupus nephritis, as lupus nephritis may also present with cells and sometimes protein and casts in urine.
