24 hour urine

Seriously now these doctors are starting to annoy me.  They want to check a 24 hour urine to make sure the lupus isn't affecting the kidneys so they can rule that out before/if I get protein in the urine (which is a sign of preeclampsia).  All I have to say to that is in the 15 years I have had lupus, I have NEVER had protein in my urine so if I do now or later in the pregnancy it is because of preeclampsia and not the lupus.  Besides I know when I am having a lupus flare and when I do, I never have proteinuria.
