Basics of Ketone Metabolism
The two predominant ketone bodies in human metabolism – acetoacetate (ACAC) and beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB) – are made in the liver from fatty acids. When glucose is not available, they`re transported by blood to other body tissues to be used as an energy source. Acetone, the third and least abundant ketone, is spontaneously formed from the breakdown of acetoacetate. It`s found mostly in breath, and its contribution as an energy source is insignificant.
There are always some ketones present in the blood, but levels naturally increase in response to fasting, prolonged or strenuous exercise, and a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet. This is called ketosis.
Like glucose, ketones are important metabolic fuels reabsorbed through the kidneys as the blood is filtered. When blood passes through the kidneys, small molecules like glucose and ketones end up in the urine, and so must be taken back up. Reabsorption of ketones prevents energy wastage and is especially important during extended fasts. The body doesn`t want to flush good energy down the drain, so ketones appear to be completely reabsorbed from the urine at low blood levels, like after an overnight fast. When the level of ketones in the blood exceeds the reabsorption capacity of the kidneys, the excess ketones spill over into the urine.
Reaction principle
The acetoactate and nitroprusside cause reaction in alkaline medium,which produces purplish red compounds.
What do my results mean after testing by Ketone Urine Test Strips?
You can measure ketones at any time of the day.However, ketone levels tend to vary,being highest in the morning and right after dinner.It is also best to avoid measuring your ketone levels right after exercise because the numbers you would get then won`t represent your mean ketone levels.Being dehydrated,over-hydrated,and taking certain medication(Mesna) can lead to inaccurate results,especially with Urine Ketone Strips.
While individual testing may vary, in general,results for ketone testing are labeled in the following way:
normal/negative | less than 0.5 millionles per liter(mmol/L) |
low to moderate | 0.6 to 1.5 mmol/L |
high | 1.6 to 4.0 mmol/L |
very high | greater than 4.0 mmol/L |
