What happens if a woman has 2+ ketone bodies in her urine?

Urine is a kind of waste excreted from our body, but on the other hand, urine is also very important to the human body, because by observing the urine, we can also find some problems in the body. This is why urine needs to be tested when examining the body. Take women as an example. Many women see the words "urine ketone bodies" on urine test reports. What is going on? Let's briefly analyze what's going on with 2+ ketone bodies in women's urine?

When ketone bodies appear in the urine, the most common clinical cause is diabetes. Immediate intravenous administration of insulin injection is required to lower blood sugar, and large doses of fluid and potassium supplements are required. If the blood sugar situation is not corrected in time and fluid replacement therapy is not given, ketoacidosis will be induced, resulting in a more critical situation.

The presence of ketone bodies in urine can also be seen in infectious diseases such as typhoid fever, sepsis, pneumonia, and severe vomiting and diarrhea, which require anti-infection, treatment of the primary disease, and fluid rehydration therapy.

Urinary ketone bodies are a general term for three different components, namely acetone, acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate, which are intermediate products of fat metabolism in the body. Under normal circumstances, very little is produced and cannot be detected using our current routine methods, so the qualitative test for ketone bodies in normal people is negative. However, when you are hungry, have impaired sugar metabolism due to various reasons, have increased lipolysis, or have diabetic acidosis, ketonemia may occur, and then ketonuria may occur, because the rate of ketone body production is greater than the rate of tissue utilization. At this time, the situation is not optimistic, and you should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time to avoid unnecessary harm.
