Common Questions and Answers about Urine test strips ketones

Avatar f tn Testing the urine is one way to check for ketones. You can pick up urine test strips at your local drug store. 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 I am unsure about what I have, but I can tell you that when I tested my blood sugar, after fasting (14 hours), it was about 124, but then I realized the test strips were expired. I went to the doctor and the found a high amount of protein in my urine, and also ketones, but no sugar in. (I was tested about two hours after a large meal too, so the ketones were not out of starvation, and I do not exercise.) They have always seen protein in my urine also.
Avatar n tn Test strips that change color to reveal the amount of a substance in a liquid (for example, sugar in urine, ketones in urine, certain meds/drugs in urine, high-school "litmus paper" tests for the amount of acid or base), give a general indication of how much of that substance is present in the liquid. The tests that give an exact number (such as a modern blood sugar meter) gives a more precise indication.
Avatar n tn OK, so my Dr said my urinalysis came back with trace of ketones and protein in my urine. He said its probably not significant and should check it again another day. Can someone tell me how common or uncommon that is? I hadnt eatin like like 16 hours before hand, except for alittle something maybe 20 minutes before I gave the urine sample. Could this have caused it? I was really worried since I get cloudy urine after eating dairy, and only after dairy.
Avatar f tn Another thing. Do you have any ketone strips? If not you can buy them at any pharmacy or grocery store in the diabetes area. Run one of the strips under your dog's urine stream and see if he has ketones in his urine. If he does he needs to get into the vet's ASAP.
Avatar n tn Last night he tested positive for keytones in his urine. According to the test strips he had moderate to large ketones. Today he continues to test positive but with definate large results. I took him to see his pediatric doctor today and he actually call in an associate to look at him, also. Although together the two doctors ran all kinds of test on my grandson all they could really find wrong with him was large levels of keytones, a fever, and general flu like symtoms.
Avatar f tn I took him to the doctors who’s referred us to the hospital and we’ve got the appointment for that this week, the gp told me to test his urine twice daily so I bought some strips from the pharmacy (£20 for 24!) and used them all up so I bought more online as I couldn’t afford that price again, they’re the same brand (siemens) but they test for a few extra things and I’d really appreciate anyone who knows wether to treat the bilirubin as + or -.
Avatar n tn they can cause what you describe.you can buy cheap urine testing strips at pharmacy and the next time your blood sugar is very high wee on the stick!
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 n tn You might also go to the pharmacy and pick up a bottle of ketone/glucose strips. You take one and dip it in a urine sample or you can just stick it in the stream (sorry--graphic, but anyway). Anyone can run ketones as I understand it (Atkins dieters love those strips...grrr). But it may be revealing if you are running ketones and spilling glucose as well. Do non-diabetics spill glucose at all? Not a doc, but I don't think so. Good luck to you...as GiJoe says...
Avatar f tn I checked her fasting level it was 67. Normal. And her doctor ran urine moderate ketones. He said it could be Bc she has not been eating like starvation ketones but didn’t want rule anything else out. Her level at the doctor office was 75. After she ate small breakfast. So normal again.

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 depending on a1c or daily blood sugar counts and medications (metformin for example), ketones might be involved. Keto-diastix is one brand of cheap strips that will give general blood sugar counts and ketone levels. These use urine instead of blood. Experiment with those, record the info and then ask your doctor to explain anything needed about it...
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 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 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 n tn for unusually poor behavior the past couple of weeks, and a couple of episodes of unrinary incontinence. I thought he may have a UTI or earache. They did a urinalysis and the only abnormal was KETONES-15 (low). They want to repeat it in a month. Never a fever, is a persnickty eater, but does have an apple and P.B. everyday and a whole wheat english muffin with cream cheese in the am, or toast with "dippy" egg. So he is NOT even close to starving! Why are these Ketones showing up?
Avatar f tn d have to pee on a stick that measured ketones in my urine, if it was higher some days they would make me drink an extra 2 or 3 water bottles or go in for iv fluids. Stay hydrated!! Goodluck!
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 For the past several years trace amounts of protein have been found in my urine, as well as ketones. Throughout the years I've had different doctors discover this, all of which said it was nothing to worry about. Now that I have a new insurance, I asked to get my urine checked specifically for the protein issue. The results are alarming to me. Can an expert please look at these values and please advise? Thank you very much.
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 Bile should NEVER, EVER leave your mouth. Get some keto strips (to pee on) at the pharmacy desk (about $6.00 for 50) and use them REGULARLY. Twice a day will do, until you are well. They indicate ketones in your urine that accumulate when you are dehydrated. BUY PEDIALYTE SINGLE PACKS in the baby section at a grocery store or Walmart type store.
Avatar f tn Hi, my ketones have been up and down and i don’t have any more ketone strips to actually check them but i dont think they’re too high rn.
