Acetonuria, also known as ketonuria, refers to a medical condition where there is an excessive amount of ketones in urine, often indicating a problem with the metabolic process of the body. While both terms are commonly used interchangeably, there are a few other synonyms for acetonuria that can be utilized, such as ketosis or diabetic ketoacidosis. Ketosis is commonly seen in individuals who are following a low-carb diet, while diabetic ketoacidosis is associated with uncontrolled diabetes. Other less commonly used synonyms for acetonuria include ketonemia, urine ketones, and ketone bodies. Regardless of the term used, early detection and treatment are crucial in managing the underlying condition and preventing further complications.
