Encyclopedia > Ketostix

"Ketostix" is Bayer's brand name for test strips designed to measure the level of ketones in the urine. These strips are used by diabetics (to detect ketoacidosis, a dangerous condition) and by low-carb dieters to measure benign dietary ketosis, or lipolysis, the burning of fat.


Other brands of ketone test strips are Uriscan and Atkins.

To test for ketones the test is done by placing a small amount of urine on a test stick called a Uristix or Ketostix.
When it has even a small amount of urine on it, you use a 3 cc or 5cc syringe and suck up the urine into the syringe from the cotton 2x2.
You can also use a cotton cotton ball that is saturated and squeeze the urine onto the Ketostix.
