Patient's question:
The child has recently been experiencing leg swelling and has undergone a thorough medical examination at the hospital. Here are the results:1. Urinalysis: Urobilinogen positive, ketone bodies positive;
2. Blood test: Platelet count elevated at 311.0, monocyte percentage low at 4.3%. What could be the reason for this? How can it be resolved? Thank you, doctor!
Doctor's answer:
The two results you carefully checked may not have a direct relationship with calf swelling. A positive urinary bilirubin is also common among normal people and does not indicate any problem. A positive urinary ketone test suggests the possibility of diabetes, and it is recommended to check fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin. Elevated platelet count is a common occurrence for many people and is not indicative of any disease. A 4.3% decrease in the percentage of monocytes also has little clinical significance and does not require special intervention. Wishing you all the best!
