Bipolar disorder and depression are considered what type of mental health disorder?
nadezda [96]

Bipolar disorder and depression are Mood Disorders.

This means that they are both mental health conditions that affect your mood in a chronic way, it is more than just being sad or happy. Depression is chronic (meaning long lasting), persistent, debilitating sadness/misery/despair. It creates extreme low mood. Bipolar disorder is a mixture of depression and mania. Depression would be the low mood and mania would be the exact opposite which is extreme high mood and happiness which leads to irrational and sometimes destructive behavior.

The presence of ketones is often high in the urine of both diabetics and people who suffer from anorexia. What urine characteris
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

What is a ketones in urine test?

The test measures ketone levels in your urine. Normally, your body burns glucose (sugar) for energy. 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. High ketone levels in urine may indicate diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a complication of diabetes that can lead to a coma or even death. A ketones in urine test can prompt you to get treatment before a medical emergency occurs.

Other names: ketones urine test, ketone test, urine ketones, ketone bodies

What is it used for?

The test is often used to help monitor people at a higher risk of developing ketones. These include people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. If you have diabetes, ketones in urine can mean that you are not getting enough insulin. If you don't have diabetes, you may still be at risk for developing ketones if you:

Experience chronic vomiting and/or diarrhea

Have a digestive disorder

Participate in strenuous exercise

Are on a very low-carbohydrate diet

Have an eating disorder

Are pregnant

Why do I need a ketones in urine test?

Your health care provider may order a ketones in urine test if you have diabetes or other risk factors for developing ketones. You may also need this test if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis. These include:

Nausea or vomiting

Abdominal pain

Confusion

Trouble breathing

Feeling extremely sleepy

People with type 1 diabetes are at a higher risk for ketoacidosis.

What happens during a ketones in urine test?

A ketones in urine test can be done in the home as well as in a lab. If in a lab, you will be given instructions to provide a "clean catch" sample. The clean catch method generally includes the following steps:

Wash your hands.

Clean your genital area with a cleansing pad. Men should wipe the tip of their penis. Women should open their labia and clean from front to back.

Start to urinate into the toilet.

Move the collection container under your urine stream.

Collect at least an ounce or two of urine into the container, which should have markings to indicate the amount.

Finish urinating into the toilet.

Return the sample container as instructed by your health care provider.

If you do the test at home, follow the instructions that are in your test kit. Your kit will include a package of strips for testing. You will either be instructed to provide a clean catch sample in a container as described above or to put the test strip directly in the stream of your urine. Talk to your health care provider about specific instructions.

Will I need to do anything to prepare for the test?

You may have to fast (not eat or drink) for a certain period of time before taking a ketones in urine test. Ask your health care provider if you need to fast or do any other type of preparation before your test.

Are there any risks to the test?

There is no known risk to having a ketones in urine test.

What do the results mean?

Your test results may be a specific number or listed as a "small," "moderate," or "large" amount of ketones. Normal results can vary, depending on your on your diet, activity level, and other factors. Because high ketone levels can be dangerous, be sure to talk to your health care provider about what is normal for you and what your results mean.

Learn more about laboratory tests, reference ranges, and understanding results.

Is there anything else I need to know about a ketones in urine test?

Ketone test kits are available at most pharmacies without a prescription. If you are planning to test for ketones at home, ask your health care provider for recommendations on which kit would be best for you. At-home urine tests are easy to perform and can provide accurate results as long as you carefully follow all instructions.

Some people use at-home kits to test for ketones if they are on a ketogenic or "keto" diet. A keto diet is type of weight-loss plan that causes a healthy person's body to make ketones. Be sure to talk to your health care provider before going on a keto diet.
