To fully monitor the course of pregnancyObstetricians-gynecologists, in addition to examining the pregnant woman, prescribe a large number of tests and various diagnostics. One of the mandatory tests, which is given for each appointment with a doctor in a women's consultation, is urinalysis in pregnant women. It is urine that can tell about the condition of the mother and the unborn child.
That urine analysis was reliable, it is necessarycorrectly to collect. To do this, collect urine in the morning, first it is necessary to wash, the entrance to the vagina should be closed with a cotton swab and collect the middle urine in a washed and dry container, immediately close the lid tightly. The ideal option is a sterile container. Collected urine must be taken to the laboratory on the same day.
The results of the analyzes can be obtained already onthe next working day after delivery or urgent tests are done for several hours. Acetone in the urine during pregnancy is often found. In general, it is present in the body of each person, but its normal amount is so little that in a conventional laboratory is not visible. And if in the body there are abnormal processes, then the level of acetone rises at times. What is the danger of such a find?
Having obtained an analysis in which the presenceacetone, do not immediately panic. Acetone in urine during pregnancy can be the result of long-term consumption of high-fat and protein foods with a limited number of foods containing carbohydrates. And the problem is easily eliminated by introducing the required amount of carbohydrate food into the diet. To select a balanced diet, it is better to consult a specialist. After all, the diet of the future mother is different from the usual one and does not accept experiments.
Acetone in the urine of pregnant women in the first trimestermay be a consequence of toxicosis. Many pregnant women complain of the strongest toxicosis, as a result of which there is no appetite, food deteriorates, vomiting appears, a kind of exhaustion of the body occurs and, as a consequence, the appearance of acetone in the urine. In especially severe cases, manifestations of the toxicosis of women are hospitalized, maintaining a safe state for the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus with the help of medication.
Fasting and strict diets also lead toincreased level of acetone. It can also appear with ketoacidosis, acidification of the internal environment of the body, which is obtained in the process of incomplete oxidation of fats and partially proteins; with diabetes, which in some cases passes without a trace after the birth of the child. But if you suspect a diabetes mellitus for confirmation (determining its shape and severity) or refutation, doctors prescribe a repeated urine test and blood donation for sugar. To promote the appearance of ketone bodies (acetone), infectious diseases can occur, which is known to be very dangerous during pregnancy, as it can lead to delays and incorrect development of the fetus, in especially severe cases, miscarriage or the birth of a dead child. Acetone in the urine during pregnancy can indicate dehydration of the body, poisoning and other, more rare, conditions and diseases.
Do not forget that in pregnant womenenergy processes are much faster, which leads to rapid depletion of stored glucose in the body. To timely replenish them, thus avoiding possible problems with the increase of acetone, it is necessary to eat well, and most importantly to eat. The diet should combine proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and trace elements - then the risk of obtaining the result of the analysis, which will indicate acetone in the urine during pregnancy, is minimized.
