That is one of the remaining questions Ishida has left since the reveal of Furuta's (sort of) scheme. We don't know exactly for sure whence he turned into a ghoul because there's no clue whether being already half-human gives a better possibility with Kanou's surgery. However, it can be possible that he was turned into a ghoul after examining Shirazu's body given the fact that Ishida purposedly showed Furuta's raw power against Matsumae and him being part of the Washus (and the consequences he may be subjected to if they find out what he is now) before revealing his condition.

This may be wrong, but there would be no way of telling if he's a ghoul or not back when he passed time with the Clowns and the restaurants since Half-Ghouls have this mixed scent regardless natural or artificial ones.
