urine ketone testing
Urine ketone testing refers to a simple and non-invasive medical procedure for detecting the presence of ketones, which are byproducts produced when the body burns fat instead of glucose for energy. The process involves collecting a urine sample and utilizing specialized test strips to identify the level of ketones present, typically used for monitoring and managing conditions such as diabetes or ketogenic diets.
