Marine Corps Basic Training. Although the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) may be the smallest service in the Department of Defense, it is by far the force that has taken many of the toughest missions the chain of command can throw at them.
Ketones are produced as a byproduct of fat metabolism, not protein metabolism. Elevated urine keytone levels can be either a sign of diet-induced ketosis or possible kidney disease. In either case, a high protein diet alone should not elevate keytone levels in urine. However, if a person is on a high-protein, high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet (for example Atkins or one of the other ketogenic diets out there), it would not be unusual to see elevated keytone levels in a urinanalysis.
Small or trace amounts of ketones may mean that ketone buildup is starting. You should test again in a few hours. Moderate or large amounts are a danger sign. They upset the chemical balance of your blood and can poison the body.mall or trace amounts of ketones may mean that ketone buildup is starting. You should test again in a few hours.
