Hello,

As per my surgical experience, the cause of consistent loss of protein and WBC in urine indicate most likely chronic kidney damage in a patient with uncontrolled diabetes (suggested by high HBA1C level of 15.8).

Additional workup with serum creatinine and urea levels would help greatly.

So far as multiple joint involvements is concerned, it is predictable with many HLA forms of coexistent immunological conditions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
