What does a positive urine test in men mean?

Some men may experience frequent and urgent urination, or back pain, while others may suspect they have diabetes. At this time, they should go to the hospital to at least have their urine tested. When a male urine test result is positive, it indicates that there may be a urinary tract infection or some kidney disease. Regardless of the situation, the urine test report is positive, which should be taken seriously by the patient and should be diagnosed in time to avoid delaying the treatment of the disease.

1. The meaning of a positive urine test

A positive urine test has many meanings. Generally speaking, it may be hematuria, it may be an increase in white blood cells caused by a urinary tract infection, or it may be a positive protein test, indicating the possibility of kidney disease. You need to see the report to know the specifics. If it is a urinary tract infection, further urine culture is needed to clarify the type of pathogenic microorganisms and drug sensitivity, and then select sensitive antibiotics for continuous treatment for two weeks. If the urine test of a male patient is normal, it means that it is caused by a urinary tract infection. Male patients can take levofloxacin for treatment and drink plenty of water. If you are worried, it is best to consult a doctor. If the general test result of a male patient is positive, it means that it is more likely to be caused by infection or inflammation, but in serious cases, the urine test is also positive after taking drugs or being exposed to drugs. Regardless of the situation, if the urine test is positive, it is necessary for the patient to undergo more detailed examinations in order to detect the disease as early as possible.

2. Male urine ketone body positive

1. Concept

Urine ketone bodies are a general term for three different components, namely acetone, acetoacetic acid and β-hydroxybutyric acid, which are intermediate products of fat metabolism in the body. Under normal circumstances, very little is produced and cannot be detected by our current conventional methods, so the normal ketone body qualitative test is negative. However, when hungry, sugar metabolism is impaired due to various reasons, fat decomposition increases, and diabetic acidosis occurs, ketosis may occur because the rate of ketone body production is greater than the rate of tissue utilization, followed by ketonuria. At this time, the situation is not optimistic and you should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.

2. The meaning of ketone body positivity

Urine ketone bodies +- indicates suspected positive. Urine ketone bodies may be positive in the following situations:

1) Diabetic patients will have strong positive symptoms (+++ or above) when they have diabetic acidosis. Attention should be paid to this situation as toxic coma may occur easily. Treatment measures should be taken in time.

2) Severe vomiting, diarrhea, long-term malnutrition, hunger, and after intense exercise. The test results show that ketone bodies were found in your urine during routine urine tests. Generally, they should not exist in a normal human body. Ketone bodies are mainly caused by an imbalance in metabolism in the body. When the decomposition of fat in the body is greater than the decomposition of sugars, they are easily produced.
