G the symptoms described are characteristic of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). This is a systemic autoimmune disorder which predominantly affects women, in which antibodies to multiple intracellular components such as DNA, phospholipids, and ribonucleoproteins are formed. Complexes of these intracellular antigens and auto-antibody deposit in sites such as the kidney (causing damage measured as protein in the urine), and the joints (causing inflammation and pain).
