Understanding Urine Ketone, Qualitative

The Urine Ketone, Qualitative test identifies ketones, substances produced by the liver as a by-product of fat metabolism occurring when carbohydrate intake is low, the body is in a fasting or starving state, or the body’s insulin levels are low.

In normal circumstances, ketone levels in the urine are minimal. However, elevated ketone levels can indicate metabolic imbalances such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in individuals with diabetes or ketosis from fasting or a ketogenic diet.
