What Could High Ketone Levels, Abdominal Pain And Blood In The Urine Indicate?
I am not diabetic, but I have had two recent tests that showed high levels of ketones. I also recently had two days of terrible abdominal pain with blood in the urine. Considering that I have only 1 kidney (the other was donated in 2003) what are the possible diagnosis for something like this.

Hello,
If your cells don't get enough glucose, your body burns fat for energy instead. This produces a substance called ketones, which can show up in your blood and urine.
So, I would also recommend consuming more carbohydrates. For the abdominal pain, I recommend you to take Buscopan three times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
