Why acetone odor on the breath of a patient a clinical symptom?

Acetone odor of the breath is technically a "sign," not a "symptom." Acetone in the breath occurs as the body rids itself of excess acetone through the lungs. This is a characteristic sign of ketosis and ketoacidosis- metabolic problems which may occur in diabetes. Ketosis results from large scale conversion of fats into fatty acids and ketone bodies when glucose metabolism is impaired (either by diet or disease). Ketoacidosis results when ketosis is accompanied by a drop in the pH of the blood, and is a potentially life-threatening condition.
