Ketonuria is an abnormal condition in which ketone bodies are excreted in the urine. Ketone bodies are partially metabolized fatty acids, which are created when the body is trying to break down stored fats for energy. The liver can only metabolize a certain amount of fat at any given time, with the rate-limiting step being converting ketone bodies into carbohydrates.
