Overview

What is KETONE BODY (BETA HYDROXYBUTYRATE) SERUM

The liver produces ketone bodies, which your body uses as an energy source when glucose isn’t easily available. Both prolonged activity and fasting cause an increase in ketone bodies in the blood. The most prevalent cause of elevated blood ketones, or ketoacidosis, is diabetes. Additionally, if you suffer from alcoholism, an eating disorder, or regular vomiting and diarrhea, you run the risk of getting ketoacidosis. The primary purpose of this test is to detect diabetic ketoacidosis, a dangerous consequence of unchecked diabetes.

Usage

Beta hydroxybutyrate a predominant ketone is an extremely reliable guide for monitoring insulin therapy in the treatment of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). During successful therapy, total ketones & beta Hydroxybutyrate decreases but acetoacetate increases. It may produce a paradoxical situation, as ketosis may appear to worsen because most of the tests for ketosis detects acetoacetate only whereas Beta hydroxybutyrate measurement quantitate this decrease.
