  • Title: Differential diagnosis and therapy of hyperketonemic state.
    Author: Schade DS, Eaton RP.
    Journal: JAMA; 1979 May 11; 241(19):2064-5. PubMed ID: 107340.
    Abstract:
    Detection of ketone bodies in the urine or plasma may be used as a rapid, inexpensive diagnostic approach. Understanding the causes of hyperketonemia can lead to identification and appropriate therapy for the underlying cause. At least one urinary ketone measurement should be a routine procedure in all severely ill patients in whom a complete understanding of the underlying pathological processes is not present.
