Despite explanation from 'some guy', full clinical picture of the illness should be taken into account. Ketone especially can be elevated in dehyration which is normal phenomena. You get some sugar odd time in children(in urine) secondary to stress. Nitrate can be falsely positive in heavily contaminated urine sample. So please look at overall picture. This is only test and it can be reflecting the disease or falsely reflecting a normal physiologcal condition.

one of the tests is for protien in the urine -- it indicates a malfunctioning kidney.
