Understanding Urine Ketone, Qualitative

What is Urine Ketone, Qualitative?

Urine ketone body test is mainly used to determine the level of the ketones in the urine. Generally, the body uses the glucose to burn for energy. If a person is suffering from diabetes then that person may not be having sufficient quantity of insulin to burn glucose for fuel. In such a situation the body will burn the fat in place of the sugar and manufactures substances that are known as ketones. These ketones as a result land up in the urine and the blood. High levels of ketones in the urine indicate diabetic ketoacidosis. It is a complication of diabetes. You may need this test if you have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, confusion, and difficulty in breathing. People who have digestive disorder, eating disorder, or are on low carbohydrate diet can also suffer from this condition.
