Urine ketones, such as beta-hydroxybutyric acid, acetoacetic acid, and acetone, are the end-product of rapid or excessive fatty acid breakdown. Its important to note that only acetoacetic acid reacts with sodium nitroprusside reagent. As with glucose, ketones are present in the urine when the blood levels surpass a certain threshold.
Fatty acid release from adipose tissue is stimulated by a number of hormones including glucagon, epinephrine, and growth hormone. The levels of these hormones are increased in starvation, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, and a number of other conditions.
