The normal value of excretion of ketone bodies in urine is typically less than 0.5 mmol/L. Elevated levels of ketones in urine, known as ketonuria, can indicate a metabolic condition such as Diabetes or starvation. Ketoacidosis, a potentially life-threatening condition, can also cause increased levels of ketones in urine.

Glycosuria and Ketone bodies in the urine are both clear signs that a person has?
Diabetes
What is the urine pH in a dehydrated person?
The pH would be lowered due to the production of ketone bodies and excreted in the urine.
What are the types of ketone bodies present in urine?
The three bodies are acetone, acetoacetic acid and beta-hydroxybutyric acid, although beta-hydroxybutyric acid is not technically a ketone but a carboxylic acid.
Primary organ of excretion is the?
Kidney - through urine.
How is fuel metabolism in the liver changed during prolonged starvation?
Prolonged starvation will stimulate the degradation of proteins in order to produce glucogenic amino acids. The excretion of urea in urine will hence increase to remove the nitrogen waste.These glucogenic amino acids can be converted to oxaloacetate and the oxaloacetate can enter the TCA cycle for energy production. The oxaloacetate can also be converted to PEP for gluconeogensis and the glucose formed can help maintain the level of glucose in the blood.When the oxaloacetate runs out, the lack of its presence prevents acteyl-CoA to enter the TCA cycle. This will lead to the accumulation of acteyl-CoA, favouring the production of ketone bodies. The ketone bodies are then used by the brain as fuel.

Undesirably high concentration of ketone bodies in the blood and urine?
Condition known as Ketosis

What are the factors influencing normal urine excretion?
What you eat and drink.

What substance in urine creates ketonuria?
Ketonuria is an abnormal condition in which ketone bodies are excreted in the urine. Ketone bodies are partially metabolized fatty acids, which are created when the body is trying to break down stored fats for energy. The liver can only metabolize a certain amount of fat at any given time, with the rate-limiting step being converting ketone bodies into carbohydrates.
What is the medical term meaning acetone or ketone bodies in the urine?
Ketonuria means ketones in the urine.Ketonuria is the medical term meaning ketones in the urine.
When ketone bodies are present in the blood and urine in large amounts it usually indicates increased metabolism of?
fatty acids
When ketone bodies are present in the blood and urine in large amount it usually indicates increased metabolism of?

Presence of ketone bodies in blood and urine in large amounts usually indicates increased metabolism of?
Proteins-amino acids
Why do we saturate ammonium sulphate in rothera's test?
Rothera's test is used to detect the presence of ketone bodies in a solution (eg urine). it utilizes sodium nitroprusside, liquid ammonia and ammonium sulphate. ammonium sulphate is used to concentrate the ketone bodies to the center of the solution. the other 2 constituents react with ketone bodies to form pink coloured polymerized compound.

Ammonium ion is used to precipitate the proteins that may be present.. Because proteins can give a positive result to Rothera's test as well..
