What Causes Ketones In Urine Of A 2 Year Old?

I have just been told my 2 year old possibly has ketones in her urine, it has gone for testing.

She has been potty trained for about 2 months and ha sonly recently started wetting the bed. She has also complained of a tummy ache, however this is usually only in the morning.

Hi....high ketones in the urine could occur due to many conditions like early onset or juvenile diabetes or due to fasting or due to dietary issues.

I suggest further workup based on these lines.
