How To Use	The ketone urine reagent test is based on the reaction of acetoacetic acid with sodium nitroprusside in a strongly basic medium. The colors range from from beige or buff-pink color for a "negative" reading to a pink/pink-purple for a "positive" reading. The ketone test provides semi-quantitative results and reacts with acetoacetic acid in urine Normally, no ketones are found in the urine. In low carbohydrate metabolism situations, ketones appear in the urine in large amounts before serum ketones are elevated. The reagent detects as little as 5-10 mg/dl acetoacetic in urine.
