Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How should I understand a positive ketone test in a pregnant woman's urine with three plus signs?Doctor's answer:
The two most common reasons are: First, during the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women experience severe vomiting and cannot eat, which leads to the mobilization of fat in the body. In the metabolic process, a large amount of acidic substances is produced, resulting in ketoacidosis in this situation. Another case is when diabetes is present, as the metabolic acidosis caused by diabetes is involved. In addition to ketones in the urine test, there should also be glucose in the urine.
