ketones in ur urine means sugar which i had when i had gestational diabetes (although ketones will be present when had severe throwing up and dehydration) and protein means possibly a urinary tract infection. Hope i helped goodluck =)

I know keytones in urine means you're dehydrated or almost to that point. It also shows your midwife that you've been sick lately throwing up. Protein I'm not really to sure.

Did they test your key tones in your urine or through a blood test? If key tones in tour urine is high than it is normally a sign of dehydration. Jist drink lots of fluids. I don't know about the protein though

I didnt have my glucose test til 26 weeks.... are you at a high risk for g.d.? As far as your proteins and keytones, its hard to say without knowung your weight/other factors. I am sure if there were an issue with keytone and protein levels, your doc woykd have called you
