Urine Ketone, Qualitative near me in Kolkata

This test is used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as ketosis, Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and other metabolic disorders. It is available in Kolkata with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price.

Your doctor may recommend this test if you exhibit symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, or unexplained fatigue, which could suggest abnormal ketone levels. It is also used to monitor diabetes management or evaluate dietary impacts on metabolic health. This test is particularly useful for individuals  with diabetes who are at risk of DKA (a severe complication characterized by high blood sugar levels and ketone production), on low-carbohydrate diets or undergoing prolonged fasting, as these can lead to ketosis.
