Acetonemic Syndrome

This is a condition caused by metabolic disorders and the formation of ketone bodies in the blood of a child. That is, in the baby’s body there are not enough carbohydrates or excess fatty acids that cause intoxication.

The factors causing this condition should also include:

• insufficient amount of liver enzymes that are involved in oxidation processes;
• decreased ketolysis;
• violation of the water-electrolyte balance and acid-base balance;
• stress and pain;
• infections
• fasting, overeating;
• the use of large amounts of protein and fatty foods.

What are the symptoms of acetonemic syndrome in children?

• increased irritability and timidity;

• restless sleep and nervousness;

• specific odor from the mouth.

Frequent acetonemic crises can develop suddenly. Sometimes they are accompanied by precursors: lethargy, lack of appetite, nausea, headache.

The crisis is accompanied by incessant vomiting, signs of intoxication, muscle hypotension, pallor of the skin with a painful blush on the cheeks. Drowsiness, weakness, cramps and meningeal symptoms, fever, abdominal pain, smell of acetone from the oral cavity, diarrhea or constipation are observed.

An ailment appears most often in children two to three years old. By the age of seven, seizures become more frequent, and by the age of thirteen (puberty) they disappear.

One way to diagnose the disease is a biochemical blood test. The norm and interpretation of the results will help determine the cause of the disease. A procedure is prescribed if accurate and extended information about the child’s health status is required. The analysis is necessary not only to conduct a thorough examination, but also to monitor the treatment process.

The procedure is carried out on a special device - the analyzer.

Data decryption

One biochemical analysis can not tell about the state of health of the baby. Additional procedures are prescribed: ultrasound, computed tomography, urinalysis, etc.
