Urine for Ketone Bodies Price in Bangladesh

What is Urine for Ketone Bodies?

A urine test for ketone bodies detects substances produced when the body breaks down fat for energy instead of glucose. This can occur in conditions such as diabetes, where high blood sugar causes the body to produce ketones, or during starvation, prolonged fasting, excessive alcohol consumption, or certain medical conditions like pregnancy or eating disorders.

The presence of ketones in urine can signal serious conditions like diabetic ketoacidosis, a life-threatening complication of diabetes. If the test is positive, further evaluation and treatment are needed to address the underlying cause.
