Ketonuria after Fasting may be Related to the Metabolic Superiority

Obese individuals are less able to oxidize fat than non-obese individuals. Caloric reduction or fasting can detect ketonuria. We investigated the differences of metabolic parameters in the presence of ketonuria after a minimum 8 hr fast in a cross-sectional analysis of 16,523 Koreans (6,512 women and 10,011 men). The relationship between the presence of ketonuria of all subjects and prevalence ...

Hyperglycaemia, glycosuria and ketonuria may not be diabetes.

Diabetic ketoacidosis is a well recognised, important, but rare differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain in children. We report a case highlighting the need for complete assessment of any child presenting with new-onset glycosuria, ketonuria and hyperglycaemia. Causes other than diabetes may rarely produce these findings. CASE REPORT A girl aged three years and ten months with a six-hour ...

Different Response of Body Weight Change According to Ketonuria after Fasting in the Healthy Obese

The relationship between obesity and ketonuria is not well-established. We conducted a retrospective observational study to evaluate whether their body weight reduction response differed by the presence of ketonuria after fasting in the healthy obese. We used the data of 42 subjects, who had medical records of initial urinalysis at routine health check-up and follow-up urinalysis in the out-pat...

Fasting may be unnecessary for lipid testing

At present, the majority of guidelines recommend a fasting serum lipid test. This recommendation is based on achieving consistency between patients and over multiple tests by ensuring a relatively standardised metabolic state. It is also because the majority of research has been performed using fasting lipids, therefore it was assumed that making comparisons and analysing risk would be less pre...
