The Acetone-Urine test is a quick urine examination that measures the bodys acetone levels. A number of hormones, such as glucagon, adrenaline, and growth hormone, can trigger the release of fatty acids from body fat (adipose tissue) into the blood when the bloods acetone concentration rises over a particular point. In famine, uncontrolled diabetes, and a number of other situations, the levels of these hormones rise. The effectiveness of the prescribed medications is also tested during and after the treatment of Diabetes Ketoacidosis and Ketonuria, as well as to confirm the presence of these conditions.
