What explains the presence of the glucose in the urine?

Protein does occur naturally in the urine of humans. This is normally no more than 150mg per day. I am assuming you mean >150mg of protein per day. If someone has more than 150mg of protein in their urine per day it can mean several things: it can be a result of an infection, diabetes, kidney disease, medication side effect, and many, many more.

Why sugar and ketone bodies are abnormal constituent of urine?

Sugar or glucose, is an abnormal constituent in urine because the body seeks to filter and reabsorb any molecules that are beneficial to life. In normal concentrations in the blood, glucose is reabsorbed efficiently by the renal tubules and there won't be a measurable amount in the urine. Glucose in the urine or glucosuria, is due to the renal tubule's inability to reabsorb glucose. This may be because the tubules are damaged, or there is so much excess glucose in the blood that it "spills over" into the urine. When ketones are in the urine, they signify that the body has stopped using glucose as an energy source and has started to tap its fat reserves. This can happen in starvation, metabolic disease, or diabetic ketoacidosis. Anytime that glucose and ketones are present in the urine, it is an indicator that the patient is suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis. There body does not have enough insulin to allow cells to utilize the glucose in the blood and the body has started to tap its fat reserves to provide the necessary power. This is a very dangerous situation and you should be seen by a physician immediately.
