Urinalysis - This exam can measure the protein and cells in your urine which can be an early warning of kidney disease in lupus patients. Complete blood count (CBC) - measures the cell counts in your blood which include white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin and platelet counts. White blood cells can be decreased in lupus and may be a sign of active disease or drug-related side effect. Patients with lupus may have a mild anemia manifested by a low hemoglobin level. Causes of anemia include iron deficiency, active inflammation or less frequently, hemolytic anemia which is caused by autoantibodies to red blood cells.
