The Accudoctor Ketones and pH Test allows for the detection of acid-base balance and the concentration of ketone bodies in urine samples.
It is also suitable for individuals following ketogenic or alkaline diets who want to monitor their ketosis status and acid-base balance. These test strips provide a quick and convenient way to obtain information about these aspects.
Accudoctor urine test strips for ketones enable the detection of the presence and concentration of ketone bodies in the body. These ketone bodies are produced when the body utilizes fats as the primary source of energy instead of carbohydrates. For individuals following a ketogenic diet with restricted carbohydrate intake, measuring ketones can be useful in verifying if the body is in a state of ketosis.
The pH of urine can provide information about the body’s acid-base balance. Alkaline diets focus on consuming foods that help maintain a slightly alkaline pH in the body. Urine pH test strips allow individuals following an alkaline diet to monitor and adjust their food intake to maintain proper balance.

| Ketones |
Usually, ketones are not present in urine. Detectable levels of ketones can appear in urine during physiological stress conditions such as fasting, pregnancy, and frequent intense exercise. In calorie-restricted diets, ketones appear in urine in high concentrations. The results show colors ranging from light pink for negative results to a darker pink or purple color for positive results.

| pH |
The pH of urine provides information about both metabolic activity and the overall well-being of the body. In a healthy individual, the pH of urine typically has a value of 6 (although it can range between 4.5 and 8), making it slightly acidic (a pH value of 7 is considered neutral). The colors range from orange to yellow and from green to blue.
