Identify ketonuria
Ketonuria means ketone bodies are present in urine; it can accompany starvation or diabetes mellitus.

Protein-rich diets supply sulfur-containing amino acids and phosphate that contribute fixed acids after metabolism, tending to lower urine pH.
OlympIQ exam lens
- ✓Ketonuria = ketones in urine; possible in starvation/diabetes.
