Scenario/Summary
History:
BT is a 36-year-old female experiencing pain during urination over the
course of two days and is urinating more frequently. She does not have a
fever or any other symptoms. She states she has not been drinking as much
water as usual.
Physical: abdomen is soft, with no signs of tenderness or masses
Labs: a urinalysis with a "dipstick" is performed and reveals leukocytes and
nitrites which suggest infection. A surprising finding is that she also has
ketones in her urine (ketonuria).
Assessment: Urinary tract infection and ketonuria
When the body produces excess ketones, they are eliminated by the lungs
and kidney. Further history will be needed to determine why she is producing
excessive ketones!
Deliverables
Answer the following questions based on the scenario and article above and
save your responses in a Microsoft Word document. Provide a scholarly
resource in APA format to support your answers.
1. Identify 2 potential causes of ketonuria.
Two potential causes of ketonuria are as follows:
Glycogen storage disease is a condition in which the body stores excess
glucose. As an energy source, your body stores glucose as glycogen. This
metabolic disorder develops when glycogen cannot be stored adequately. It
forces your liver to obtain energy from sources other than glycogen. Ketones
are excreted through the urine as a result of this.
