Test Information
Overview

A serum ketone test measures how many ketones are there in the blood.

Ketones are substances produced in the liver when fat cells break down in the blood. This test is used to diagnose ketoacidosis. This is a life-threatening problem that affects people who:

  • Have diabetes. It occurs when the body cannot use sugar (glucose) as a fuel source because there is no insulin or not enough insulin. Fat is used for fuel instead. When fat breaks down, waste products called ketones build up in the body.
  • Drink large amounts of alcohol.

A normal test result is negative. This means there are no ketones in the blood.

None
