Q: blood hemoglobin 15.5, trace hemoglobin in urine, ketones 10mg/dl in urine, not diabetic, blood glucose 89. what does this mean?

Doubtful significanc: Tell us why you had your urine checked in the first place?. To resolve a medical problem we need a detailed history and also what the doctor's assessment was or is, so far? Your urine may be entirely normal but it is a good idea to recheck it one more time and see if there are any Red blood cells(RBCs) in your urine. Presence of &gt;5 RBCs would be something to be concerned about unless U have mense

Q: did a urine sample for doctor proteine was found traces of glucose an ketones the doctor has requested another sample do i need to worry?

Glucose in urine: While small amounts of protein and ketones may appear in urine of healthy people, glucose in the urine is not normal and may reflect a problem in the kidneys or the presence of diabetes. If the amount was "trace" it may be falsely positive, but deserves rechecking the urine and a blood sugar test.

Q: what might be cause of trace ketones and moderate blood in routine urine sample. no rbc in urine though. my non-fasting glucose was 102. ?

A number of causes: The causes for having blood, ketones in the urines can be hormonal disorders, liver diseases, medications and pregnancy. Acute severe illness can cause presence of ketone in the urines.

Q: i have been testing my urine daily and have ketones due to a little dysuria no leukocytes no blood no glucose,nitrates what is the cause of this condition?

: I assume that you have some dysuria and that is why you are testing your urine. There are many causes for ketones in urine. Fasting is one of them. If you are otherwise healthy and eat normally drink adequate amount of fluids stop testing daily and test after a few days. If you still have ketones see your MD for evaluation. Dysuria does not cause ketones in urine neither do ketones ion urine.

Question 1

11weeks aog with traces of calcium oxalate and ketones in urine, (-)glucose, wbc are 4-10hpf, many epith.cells..do i most likely develop kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

No: The epithelial cells indicate there's some contamination from your vagina, where there are always some white blood cells also. Calcium oxalate in solution is not a problem; some of it precipiates as the urine cools. Stop worrying.

Question 2

reasons for 15 ketones in urine for past 6 months? non-fasting urine tests. not on diet. not diabetic (blood glucose 95). chronically ill 10+ yrs.

Accepted Answer

Few other causes: Uncontrolled diabetes and prolonged fasting = common causes, but hyperthyroidism, pregnancy, fever, inadequate carbohydrate intake such as those doing special diets like Atkins' diet.
Excessive exercise and dehydration may show some ketone on urine. 
Some drugs may also do this. Since you said you are chronically ill for 10+ years...you may want to consult doc for evaluation.
Good luck!

Question 3

what do glycosuria and ketone bodies in the urine indicate?

Accepted Answer

Together is serious: Glycosuria means sugar in the urine. It happens when the sugar level in the blood is high >180 mg/dl. It is reported in crosses (+, ++, +++, ++++) the higher the crosses the worst the sugar in blood. Ketones appear in urine and blood when the liver is burning fat like in the state of fasting, or when diabetes is complicated with ketoacidosis ( is a serious complication of type i diabetes).

Question 4

is it possible to have ketones/glucose found in urine but not blood glusose level elevated?how?

Accepted Answer

Ketones can be : Concentrated in the urine any time you go for a significant period of time fasting. The concentration depends upon your state of hydration and amount of urine production. Some people spill glucose into the urine without elevated blood sugar due to genetic defects. Most don't spill until glucose greater than 189-200.

Question 5

can you tell me if both ketones and glucose are present in urine, what is this an indication of?

Accepted Answer

Ketoacidisis: You may be approaching a critical condition diabetic ketoacidosis. Its when your blood sugar goes very high and you become dehydrated. Glucose and ketones re found in the urine. I would get checked by your MD today

Question 6

what is the condition in which both glucose and ketone bodies are present in urine? not diabetic

Accepted Answer

Not diabetes?: Diabetes is most likely and needs full evaluation including before meal and 2 hr after meal glucose testing.  There could be Insulin resistance with am fasting hyperglycemia even with a1c < 6.5. Prolonged fast can cause ketones to spill into urine.  Large carbohydrate load with blood gluocse after above 180 mg/dl coincident with a urine check could potentially cause positive urine glucos.
