Question
How should one proceed with medical examinations if a child’s leg is recently swollen?
Answer
Urine tests show positive for urobilinogen and urinary ketones; blood tests indicate a high platelet count and a low percentage of monocytes. These test results may not have a direct relationship with the leg swelling. Positive urobilinogen is common in the general population and does not necessarily indicate a problem. Positive urinary ketones may require excluding diabetes, and it is recommended to check fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin. The high platelet count and low percentage of monocytes do not have significant clinical significance and do not require special treatment. Wishing you all the best.
