Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I have read your query,
From the facts you have shred here, we will need to first rule out diabetes and an underlying kidney issue since she had high protein. Ketones are formed when blood sugar gets very high. A blood test to find blood sugar levels is needed.
Also,let me know about the blood or urine tests of your daughter if done recently. Kindly upload the reports so that I am better able to help.
Are there any clinical symptoms?
Please get back to me with these more information,I will give my opinion after that.
Regards,
Dr.Sandip Kabra
