How Rice Likeliness is Associated With Ketones in Urine?

Abstract

INTRODUCTIONWhen a person does not take sufficient amount of glucose, then his body gets energy by burning fats. This process produces ketone bodies which can be seen in blood or urine of that person. The pouring of ketones into the urine is known as ketonuria. High level of ketones in urine is the sign of diabetics. The normal range of ketones is usually 1.5-3mmol/L. If higher than normal amount of ketones is present in urine then the person shows some type of symptoms such as dry cool skin, fatigue, high blood glucose concentration. Confusion, abdominal pain and deep breathing. The diabetic patients have greater risk of having high level of ketones in their urine due to insufficient intake of insulin or ineffective dosage of insulin. Moreover, those people who undergo critical situations such as pneumonia, pregnancy, heart attack, alcohol abuse, fasting or high fever have also greater chance of having ketones in urine. Depending upon the concentration of ketones in urine, the patients show different symptoms like dry mouth, fatigue, fruity smell in urine and breath, urgent need to urination and vomiting. The level of ketones in urine can be tested by using test strips which changes its color if ketone level is high in urine. Moreover, further test may carried out according to situations. These test include chest X-ray, CT scan, ECG, blood culture test etc. A patient should check his ketone level when hid blood sugar level is greater than 240 mg/dl because it shows the deficiency of insulin. If ketones level is high then it is recommended that a person should drink a plenty of water for the fast removal of ketones from urine (1). Rice is the cereal crop which is full of starch and carbohydrates. It can provide about 80% of the daily calories required by the human body. Most of the people are completely dependent on rice rather than wheat. The habit of eating rice depends upon several factors such as taking less time to cook, easy to cook, full of nutritional substances, fragrance and taste. Different strains and varieties of rice are available all over the world. However, it cannot grow in some areas due to the shortage of water supply because it is water loving plant. Nowadays researchers are interesting to modify the genetics of this plant and try to make it drought resistant. It is one of the most important crops in the Asian countries. Most of the people think that their diet remains incomplete without rice. Moreover, it can say that rice can fulfill all the nutrients required by the human body for the cellular activities (2).Abstract: The body produce ketones by burning fats in the short supply of energy in the form of glucose.
