Ketostix is relatively small article, unlikely to be greatly expanded. It would better placed in a sub-section of ketonuria describing generic urinary ketone sticks. Axl 17:40, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I am NOT a medical doctor, but my understanding is that ketonuria is more common in untreated Type One diabetes than Type Two - should the early section of this piece be modified? ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 00:21, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
"For instance, after 24 hours of fasting the blood will have increased levels of ketone bodies (called ketonemia or ketosis), but all of it will be used by the muscles and very little will remain to be excreted in urine."
Please cite were it states the time required for a fasting individual to begin excreting ketones via the urine(ketonuria). I have read plenty accounts of healthy fasting persons developing moderate ketonuria in less than 24 hours. According to the article, this should be impossible, or otherwise imply a metabolic anomaly. This portion seems to be the same item repeated over and over on the internet without a reference. Please provide citation. -- 98.236.11.20 ( talk) 15:49, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Is a part of this article taken from http://www.rnceus.com/ua/uaket.html or is it the other way around? 94.75.122.161 ( talk) 13:29, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Acetone IS NOT a gas. I updated the article by removing this erroneous information. -- 98.236.11.20 ( talk) 16:59, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
I have made a change and deleted the reference to the "15 second" timing of the reagent strip. All reagent strips are not created equally and not all specify 15 seconds. -- 98.236.11.20 ( talk) 20:25, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
I have deleted "During pregnancy, early detection of ketonuria is essential because ketoacidosis is a factor associated with intrauterine death." It is needlessly panicky, there is no source provided, it does not expand on the relation between ketonuria and ketoacidosis, it is contradicted by the the list of causes further down the article where pregnancy is listed as a legitimate cause of ketonuria (without implying ketoacidosis). There are medical articles that describe the relationship between ketonuria/ketosis and ketoacidosis pretty well: https://www.healthline.com/health/ketosis-vs-ketoacidosis; there are also articles that suggest a certain level of ketonuria in the context of pregnancy is normal and to be expected: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3808512. Should anyone find the time to document these into the article and nuance the specific situations when ketonuria would be alarming, it would help. Until than, that statements on its own seems detrimental to this article. 194.126.147.66 ( talk) 15:48, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
