About test
What does BLOOD KETONE (D3HB) measure?
This test measures beta-hydroxybutyrate (D3HB), a ketone body present in the blood when the body uses fat for energy. It may be used to evaluate ketosis and to help assess suspected ketoacidosis or monitor ketone levels in relevant clinical settings. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, blood glucose and other laboratory findings.
