ketone testing during pregnancy
Ketone testing during pregnancy refers to a procedure in which pregnant women monitor the levels of ketones, a byproduct of fat breakdown, in their urine or blood. This helps healthcare professionals evaluate the effectiveness of metabolic processes and identify potential complications, such as gestational diabetes or inadequate nutrition, that could impact the health of the mother and the developing fetus.
