Regards lybrate-user. With the provided information, it appears the disorder is affecting multiple systems - joints, urinary system, gastrointestinal (relating to weight loss). He may benefit from a consult with a rheumatologist. Rheumatological disorders are different from other disorders as they involve autoimmune issues (that is our own body's defense system, affects our own tissues). They tend to affect multiple systems at same time, and often tend to be misdiagnosed / mismanaged.
