It is generally accepted that ketone bodies in a healthy person should be absent.
During pregnancy, these bodies can be identified in the urine, which indicates dehydration with early toxicosis. But this is not a trifle, ketone bodies poison the body with acetone, so it is necessary to be examined to exclude other possible diseases (in particular, diabetes mellitus).
Acetone is most often found in the urine with anemia or gestational diabetes in pregnancy. In such cases, a doctor at the hospital prescribes a dropper and a special diet. The main goal is to drink more alkaline mineral water, exclude sweet, fatty, reduce protein intake, and vice versa, include more carbohydrate foods in the diet.
