Urine Ketones

Urine Ketones

Ketones are produced when the body breaks down fat for energy instead of glucose. Small amounts can appear during fasting or a low-carbohydrate diet, while higher levels can have a medical cause.

Doctor's Assessment Included

Reference Ranges

Expected result Negative

Reference ranges may vary between laboratories. When you order a test, a BIG-registered doctor assesses your personal results in context. For treatment decisions, discuss your results with your GP.

Urine Ketones: what this test measures

This part of the dipstick screens for ketones in your urine. The result is read in context: fasting and low-carb diets can raise ketones, but a positive result alongside high glucose is something your GP will want to review.

Urine Ketones: lifestyle and this value

Eating regular balanced meals and staying hydrated help keep ketones low. If you are not fasting or on a low-carb diet and ketones are present, discuss the result with your GP.
