Table 12.1: Pathologies relating to abnormal urine constituents. Substance Normal values Condition Possible causes Glucose negative glycosuria Diabetes mellitus Albumin(/Protein) negative proteinuria Glomerulonephritis, hypertension Ketones negative ketonuria Diabetes mellitus, starvation Bilirubin negative bilirubinuria Liver disease Red blood cells negative hematuria Bleeding in the urinary tract pH 4.5 - 7.8 Acidic: diabetes mellitus, metabolic acidosis Alkaline: urinary tract infection, metabolic alkalosis 13. Using the information in the table, what diagnosis would you suggest to a physician if you were a laboratory technician and received information from a patient's urinalysis that showed the urine had a pH of 3.2 and there were traces of ketones in the urine?
