Inkinga ye-acetone wukungajwayelekile kokuhlangana kwezakhi ezikhiqizwa amafutha egazini. Kuvame ukuxhunyaniswa nesifo sikashukela, kodwa futhi kwenzeka nakwezinye izimo zezokwelapha ezifana ne-hypoglycemia noma lapho uzila ukudla.

Inkinga ye-acetone, ebizwa nangokuthi i-ketoneemia, isho ukugcwala okuphezulu egazini legazi isidumbu se-cetonic. Lezi zikhiqizwa umzimba uma untula izinqolobane carbohydrate, izakhi ezidingekayo ukuze kube khona inani elanele le-glucose egazini (elidlala indima ebalulekile yamandla).

Ama-ketones akhiqizwa ngokwemvelo isibindi, ngokwehlisa isithunzi samafutha namaprotheni izicubu zomzimba. Ngokuvamile, le mizimba ngakho-ke ikhishwa izinso, emchameni. I-acetonemia yenzeka lapho inqwaba yale mizimba itholakala egazini. Uma kunjalo, i-pH yegazi iba ne-asidi eyengeziwe, lokhu kuyi-a acidocétose.

Imbangela yenkinga ye-acetone ngokuvamile i-a kungakhuphula izinga likashukela. Umzimba awunayo i-glucose eyanele ngenxa yokudla, ngakho-ke uzoyithola lapho ongayithola khona: emafutheni. Nakuba iningi lethu lilwela ukukuqeda, kungokwemvelo ukuba namafutha athile emzimbeni angasetshenziswa ngokudla okuncane.

Ngakho-ke, izimbangela zihlobene ngokuyisisekelo nalokhu kuntuleka kwama-carbohydrate, njenge:

• Ukungondleki kahle, okusho ukuthi iqiniso lokungadli ngokwanele noma ngokulinganisela okuhle kwama-carbohydrate;
• Ukuzila ukudla, ikakhulukazi ezinsukwini zakuqala. Le ndlela ithola abalandeli abaningi ngokwengeziwe, hhayi nje ukunciphisa umzimba. Kodwa-ke, kuyadingeka ukuthi waziswe kahle futhi uzilungiselele ngaphambi kokwethulwa;
• I-Anorexia, ikakhulukazi kwabesifazane abasebasha. Lesi sifo singaba nezimbangela ezihlukahlukene zokuphathwa njengento ebaluleke kakhulu;
• Isifo sikashukela, noma ngenye indlela eyaziwa ngokuthi i-hyperglycemia (yezinga likashukela egazini), esixhunyaniswe nokuntuleka kwe-insulin;
• Ukutheleleka, njenge-otitis, i-gastroenteritis noma i-nasopharyngitis.

Inkinga ye-acetonemia ibonakala ngendlela efanayo nesifo sikashukela:

• Isicanucanu;
• Ukuhlanza;
• Ikhanda elibuhlungu ;
• Iphunga lokuphefumula liyashintsha, ngokufana okunamandla nezithelo ezimnandi kakhulu;
• Ukozela, ukufuna ukulala ngaphandle kwesizathu esizwakalayo;
• Ukuphelelwa isifiso sokudla;
• Ukuqunjelwa;
• Isimo sokucasuka (uma siqhathaniswa nesivamile).

Qaphela ukuthi uma ezinye zalezi zimpawu zinezinye izincazelo, inhlanganisela elula yokuphefumula kwe-acetonemic nokuhlanza kwanele ukusho ngokucacile inkinga ye-acetone.

Ukubona inkinga ye-acetone, umuntu kufanele alinganise izinga lemizimba ye-ketone emzimbeni. Kulokhu, izindlela ezahlukahlukene zingenzeka:

• Ukuhlolwa kwegazi, nokuhlaziywa komzimba we-ketone, kusetshenziswa amathuluzi okuhlola noma imicu yokuhlola;
• Ukuhlaziywa komchamo.

I-acetonemia ivame ukubonakala kubantu abasha, abangakaqapheli isifo sikashukela, ngakho-ke kwenza kube nokwenzeka ukwenza ukuxilongwa kokuqala.

Inkinga ye-acetonemia ingaholela ezifweni ezahlukahlukene, kusukela kwezimbi kakhulu kuye kwezibulala kakhulu:

• Ngikhathele ;
• Ukuphelelwa umoya;
• Izinkinga zokuphefumula;
• Izifo zenhliziyo;
• Ukuphazamiseka kokuqaphela;
• I-Ketoacidosis coma, engaholela ekufeni.

Izindlela zokwelapha yilezi:           

• I-hydration ebalulekile (phuza amanzi amaningi ngokushesha nje lapho kuvela izimpawu);
• Ukungena kancane koshukela (otholakala kusinkwa, i-pasta noma irayisi);
• Ukuthatha ama-bicarbonates ukwehlisa i-acidity yegazi;
• Ukuthatha i-insulin ukwehlisa izinga lama-carbohydrate egazini, esimweni sesifo sikashukela.
