2. Urine test strip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_test_strip

   The urine test strip test for blood is based on hemoglobin's pseudo peroxidase activity in catalysing a reaction between hydrogen peroxide and the chromogen tetramethylbenzidine in order to produce a dark blue oxidation product. [6] [13] the resultant colour can vary between green and dark blue depending on the amount of hemoglobin. [13]

3. Urinalysis - Wikipedia

   Positive result on a Ketostix test strip, which is specialized for measuring ketones. Ketone bodies are products of fat breakdown. When the body relies on fats, rather than carbohydrates, as its main energy source, increased levels of ketones occur in the blood and urine. The presence of detectable levels of ketones in the urine is called ...

4. Ketosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis

   Test for ketonuria using Bayer Ketostix reagent strips. Urine testing is the most common method of testing for ketones. Urine test strips utilize a nitroprusside reaction with acetoacetate to give a semi-quantitative measure based on color change of the strip. Although beta-hydroxybutyrate is the predominant circulating ketone, urine test ...

5. Ketonuria - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketonuria

   In conditions associated with acidosis, urinary ketones are tested to assess the severity of acidosis and to monitor treatment response. Urine ketones appear before there is any significant increase in blood ketones; [11] therefore, urine ketone measurement is especially helpful in emergency situations.

6. Ketone bodies - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone_bodies

   Their excretion in urine is very low and undetectable by routine urine tests (Rothera's test). [18] When the rate of synthesis of ketone bodies exceeds the rate of utilization, their concentration in blood increases; this is known as ketonemia. This is followed by ketonuria – excretion of ketone bodies in urine. The overall picture of ...

7. Ketotic hypoglycemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketotic_hypoglycemia

   Ketotic hypoglycemia refers to any circumstance in which low blood glucose is accompanied by ketosis, the presence of ketone bodies (such as beta-hydroxybutyrate) in the blood or urine. This state can be either physiologic or pathologic; physiologic ketotic hypoglycemia is a common cause of hypoglycemia in children, often in response to ...
