Avatar f tn The alcohol test may not be able to distinguish between ketones in diabetes and alcohol. So for sure ketones could affect the test results. You need to discuss this specifically with the pain clinic doctors. You may need to show them proof about your blood sugar levels / ketones. You may need to do ketone testing as well. http://www.shouselaw.com/ketosis.
Avatar f tn The presence of ketones doesn't effect a hpt. I had ketones in my urine due to being dehydrated from morning sickness, and I continuously tested positive. Diabetes doesn't render false negative pregnancy tests either. if you drink a large amount of any liquid and use the bathroom frequently, you run the risk of diluting your urine.
Avatar m tn Now When he had the fever doctor advised us to do a urine routine test and when i got the reports i was shocked to see ketone bodies (3+) in his urine but his glucose and protine was negative for urine test and he had no urine infection. Now when i looked through internet about the Ketones i found that it has something to do with Diabetes. I am very scared of this. No one in mine and my wifes family has diabetes and so i feel my son may not have this and that to he is so yuong to have this.
Avatar f tn burning in kidneys Sent by lwack 1 minute having a burning sensation in my kidneys and nausea I did a urine test strip first thing this morning. All results were fine apart from trace leukocytes, highest specific gravity and highest ketones. I do not take medication and do not feel unwell enough to go to the doctor I am not sure what these mean and should I worry?
Avatar n tn I called the doc and he said not to be concerned unless she also had glucose in her urine. He does want to see her Monday for testing. But I am also trying to research this to give myself a little peace of mind until then. BTW, I have test strips here at home that my doc gave me to test for infection. I was testing myself and my girls (2.5 year old twins) thought it would be fun to test too. LOL!
Avatar n tn There are times when I check my urine for ketones when my blood glucose is particularly high. For example, this morning before I had eaten a bite, my blood sugar was 406. I checked my urine for ketones at that time and it showed moderate to high amounts of ketones in my urine. This afternoon after I ate, my blood sugar was 521 and I checked for ketones again. On the second check, it was negative to a trace. Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this to happen?
Avatar f tn Does anyone know what will happen if I test positive more than once for this! My dr told me I have to come back in a week and get tested again but didn't tell me what would happen if I tested positive again?
Avatar m tn He did urine tests for sugar, ketones etc., Fortunately, there were no trace of sugar and ketones. Based on this, Doctor has ruled out any diabetes. Appreciate your active participation in this forum.
Avatar f tn Yes there are ketones in my urine. Dr says it means my body isn't getting enough food and its taking from my fat and muscle.
Avatar n tn Kidney disease usually presents with proteinuria associated with hematuria or blood in the urine. To be sure, a 24 hour urine sample collection for quantitative urine protein determination may be done. Serum creatinine and BUN may also be taken to assess renal function.
Avatar n tn High blood sugar can be controlled with diabetes medications and pneumonia can be treated with antibiotics. The presence of ketones in the bloodstream is a common complication of diabetes. A urine test for ketones is more commonly done than the blood test. If there are 2 positive signs (++), this indicates the level of ketones present in her urine, which is normally negative. It is important that this is treated also to prevent ketoacidosis.
Avatar n tn thanks for your comments. I've always heard you test for ketones when you aren't well, until they're gone.. I just don't get it. Its hard to tell the differance between a stomach bug and the ketone/high bg deal. If I get a high-and ketones, (that don't go away when I get my bg down) I guess it is more of a illness. Christina- you don't feel sick when you have ketones? I always feel bad when I get ketones.
Avatar n tn visit today and I asked them to test her for diabetes, the only symptom I noticed was that she started wetting the bed at night and she has NEVER done that. The Dr. did the urine test and came back and said she was positive for ketones and sugar, she sent me to the local ER there they did a full blood work up but all test were normal, this stumped the DR. and the on-call endrocrinologist.
Avatar f tn m pretty sure keytones in urine means ur not eating enough carbs. On occasion its not harmful to you or the baby ..

Avatar f tn They did a test and stated that I had Ketones in my urine and stated they wanted me to have blood drawn so that they could see what was going on. She asked me if I had been skipping meals. I stated that I had only had a small amount to eat that day but had not been skipping meals. I was called this week to come back in and a nurse earlier told me that if my tests were normal they would just send a letter.
Avatar f tn Just follow the instruction to do the test. If I remember right if the test strip turnes pick you have ketones in your urine, plus the strip tells you if there is blood, glucose, and a couple other things. But If I were you I would go get checked out just incase. I hope this helps.
Avatar n tn Ketones are acids that build up in the blood. They appear in the urine when your body doesn't have enough insulin. Your fiance's bg meter must have an indicator, based on his bg reading that tells him when he should be checking for ketones. My daughter's endocrinologist has recommended that she test her urine for ketones if her bg is over 170 as she is on an insulin pump.
Avatar m tn I recently got my urine test done with the military and they sent me a letter asking for a family doctor to re-interpret the results and/or do a new urine test. On the info sheet, 3 lines were highlighted and the results were given beside then: Protein - 1+ Ketones - TRACE Bilirubin - 2+ I'm stressing a bit because I did some research online and the articles said that it might be a kidney problem. With me trying to get into the Air Force I need to be physically and mentally healthy.
Avatar f tn Hello, The most common cause of oily urine is ketones in urine. These appear in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes and also during periods of starvation or a stringent dietary regimen. Presence of oily substance in urine along with orangish or dark yellow-colored urine can be attributed to biliary disease or jaundice. Increase your intake of water and avoid caffeine and alcohol. Pimple like bumps can be due to boils, folliculitis, impetigo or pyoderma.
Avatar f tn Hello. I have pretty much all of the symptoms of diabetes, and I was wondering, what do ketones in your urine look like? Don't ask why, but I looked in my urine three times, pretty closely, and i saw what looked like sugar in it. Is this a problem?? and if so, how would I ask my mom to go to the doctors??
