What is another word for acetonemia?
Pronunciation: [ˌasɪtə͡ʊnˈiːmi͡ə] (IPA) 
Acetonemia is a medical condition caused by high levels of ketones in the blood, leading to ketoacidosis. Commonly referred to as ketosis, this metabolic state occurs when the body burns fat instead of glucose for energy. Symptoms include fruity breath, nausea, fatigue, and confusion. Synonyms for acetonemia include acetonaemia, ketonemia, ketonuria, and ketosis. Ketosis is a natural process during prolonged fasting or a low-carb diet. However, uncontrolled acetonemia in diabetes or alcoholism can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Regular monitoring of blood glucose and ketone levels can help manage acetonemia and prevent complications.
