This urine test detects the presence and level of acetone, a ketone body. It’s frequently used to monitor diabetes management and assess adherence to ketogenic diets. The test can help identify metabolic imbalances, evaluate unexplained weight loss, and detect potential health risks associated with high ketone levels. It’s particularly useful for individuals with type 1 diabetes or those following strict low-carbohydrate diets.
