The Ketone Bodies D-3-Hydroxybutyrate (D3BH) Test is a blood test that measures the level of beta-hydroxybutyrate, the primary ketone body produced during fat metabolism.
Ketones are produced when the body breaks down fat for energy instead of glucose. Elevated levels of D-3-hydroxybutyrate are commonly seen in conditions such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), prolonged fasting, starvation, or uncontrolled diabetes.
The purpose of this test is to:
- Measure D-3-hydroxybutyrate (ketone) levels in the blood
- Diagnose and monitor diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
- Assess fat metabolism and metabolic status
- Support evaluation of uncontrolled diabetes or fasting states
Tests Prepration :
Consult your doctor.
No fasting required (unless advised by the doctor)
No special preparation needed
Inform your doctor about medications or diabetes management
