To fully monitor the progress of pregnancyObstetricians and gynecologists in addition to examining a pregnant woman prescribe a large number of tests and a variety of diagnostics. One of the mandatory tests, which is submitted for each doctor's appointment at the antenatal clinic, is a urine test for pregnant women. It is the urine that can tell about the condition of the mother and the unborn child.
To urine analysis was reliable, it is necessary tocorrectly assemble. To do this, the urine is collected in the morning, you first need to be washed out, you must close the vaginal opening with a cotton swab and collect the average urine into a washed and dry container, immediately close the lid tightly. The ideal option would be a sterile container. Collected urine must be taken to the laboratory on the same day.
Test results can be obtained already atthe next working day after delivery or urgent analyzes done for several hours. Acetone in the urine during pregnancy are found quite often. In general, it is present in the body of each person, but its normal amount is so small that in a normal laboratory is not visible. And if abnormal processes take place in the body, the level of acetone increases several times. What threatens such a find?
After receiving the analysis, which indicates the presenceacetone, do not immediately panic. Acetone in the urine during pregnancy may be the result of prolonged consumption of high-fat and protein-rich foods with a limited amount of foods containing carbohydrates. And the problem is easily eliminated by the introduction in the diet of the required amount of carbohydrate foods. For the selection of a balanced diet, it is better to consult a specialist. After all, the diet of the future mother is different from the usual and does not accept experiments.
Acetone in the urine in pregnant women in the first trimestermay be due to toxicosis. Many pregnant women complain of severe toxicosis, as a result of which there is no appetite, nutrition is deteriorating, vomiting appears, a kind of exhaustion of the body occurs and, as a result, acetone appears in urine. In severe cases, the manifestations of toxicosis of women are hospitalized, maintaining a safe condition for the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus with the help of drug treatment.
Starvation and strict diets also lead toelevated levels of acetone. It can also appear during 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 disappears without a trace after the birth of a child. But if you suspect diabetes to confirm (determine its shape and severity) or refutation, doctors prescribe a re-analysis of urine and blood donation for sugar. Infectious diseases can contribute to the appearance of ketone bodies (acetone), which is known to be very dangerous during pregnancy, as it can lead to delays and abnormal development of the fetus, in especially severe cases, miscarriage or the birth of a dead child. Acetone in the urine during pregnancy may indicate dehydration, poisoning and other, more rare, conditions and diseases.
Не следует забывать, что у беременных женщин energy processes take place much faster, which leads to a rapid depletion of glucose accumulated in the body. In order to replenish them in a timely manner, thereby avoiding possible problems with the increase in acetone, you need a good, and most importantly, balanced diet. 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.
