Test for ketones in urine

What is the urine ketones test?
This test measures ketone levels in the urine. Normally, the body burns glucose (sugar) for energy. If the cells don't get enough glucose, the body burns fat for energy. This produces a substance called ketone, which can appear in the blood and urine. High levels of ketones in the urine can indicate diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a complication of diabetes that can cause coma and even death. Testing for ketones in urine can help you get treatment before you have a medical emergency.

Other names: urine ketone test, urinary ketones, ketone bodies, urine ketone test, ketone test, urine ketone test

For what do you use it?
The test is often used to monitor people at high risk for ketones. This includes people with type 1 or  type 2 diabetes . If you have diabetes , ketones in your urine could indicate that you are not getting enough insulin. If you don't have diabetes, you could be at risk for ketones if:

• You have chronic vomiting or diarrhea
• Have a digestive disorder
• Do vigorous exercise
• Follow a very low carbohydrate diet
• Have an eating disorder
• Are pregnant

Why do I need a urine ketone test?

People with type 1 diabetes are at higher risk for ketoacidosis.

What happens during a urine ketone test?
The urine ketone test can be done at home or in a laboratory. In the lab, you will be instructed to give a "clean" urine sample. The clean urine sample method usually includes the following steps:

• Starting to urinate in the toilet.
• Place the collection container under the urine stream
• Collect at least 1 to 2 ounces of urine in the container, which should be marked to indicate the amount
• Finish urinating in the toilet
• Return the sample container as instructed by your healthcare professional

If you are testing at home, follow the instructions on the kit. The kit includes a pack of test strips. You will be instructed to either give a clean urine sample in a container as explained above, or to place the test strips directly into the urine stream. Ask your doctor or healthcare professional for specific instructions.

Is there anything I need to do to prepare for the test?
I may have to fast(do not eat or drink) for a specified time before testing for ketones in urine. Ask your doctor or healthcare professional if you should fast or prepare in any way before the test.

What do the results mean?
Test results can be a specific number or description, for example "low", "moderate" or "high" ketone count. Results that are considered normal vary based on diet, activity level, and other factors. Since high ketone levels can be dangerous, ask your doctor or healthcare professional what is considered normal for you and what your results mean.
