Case Study 3: Crystal, a A 32-year-old black woman visits her physician because she has noticed traces of blood in her urine. She reports that she has been increasingly tired at her job as a waitress, and for the past six months has experienced periodic stiffness and swelling in her hands, mild fevers, poor appetite, and weight loss. She has also been bothered by a rash on her cheeks that gets worse whenever she is out in the sun for any length of time.
