Ketonuria

Description:

Ketonuria refers to a medical condition where excessive amounts of ketone bodies are present in the urine. Ketone bodies are by-products of the breakdown of fats for energy when the body does not have enough sugar or glucose to use as fuel. The presence of ketone bodies in the urine often indicates a metabolic disorder, such as uncontrolled diabetes or an inadequate intake of carbohydrates.

Sample Sentences:

1. Her persistent ketonuria indicated that her diabetes was not well managed.
2. The doctor advised the patient to regularly monitor their ketonuria levels in order to maintain better control over their condition.
3. Experiencing ketonuria can be a sign that the body is using stored fat as its primary energy source.
4. If you notice ketonuria along with symptoms such as excessive thirst and frequent urination, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
