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.
The proper term is "ketonuria." It is when ketones are present in urine.
Ketonuria occurs when there is an increased presence of ketone bodies in the urine. This typically happens when the body is breaking down fat for energy instead of glucose, such as in uncontrolled diabetes or during fasting.
Ketonuria means ketones in the urine.Ketonuria is the medical term meaning ketones in the urine.
Ketonuria is a medical condition in which ketone bodies are present in the urine. The reasons are: Metabolic abnormalities such as diabetes Dietary conditions such as starvation, fasting, high protein, or low carbohydrate diets,and anorexia Conditions in which metabolism is increased, such as hyperthyroidism, fever, pregnancy or lactation
Ketonuria is a sign that the body is beginning to operate in starvation mode
Glucose is high in the urine of an untreated diabetic. Glucose itself makes the urine hyperosmolar (concentrated with solutes), which in turn makes it absorb extra water from surrounding tissues, which creates extra, dilute urine. This in turn dehydrates the surrounding tissues making the patient thirsty.
A normal urine output for adults would be about 100ml/hour; beyond 125ml/hour would be considered excessive if it extended for more than 1-2 days.

The substance that collects in a renal papilla is urine.
The normal value of excretion of ketone bodies in urine is typically less than 0.5 mmol/L. Elevated levels of ketones in urine, known as ketonuria, can indicate a metabolic condition such as diabetes or starvation. Ketoacidosis, a potentially life-threatening condition, can also cause increased levels of ketones in urine.
