title: Ketonuria in normal pregnancy.
abstract: Nine low-risk, clinically normal pregnant women tested their urine for ketone bodies at three- to four-day intervals throughout gestation. Eight of the women had acetoacetonuria present on two to 15 days each. This finding was not related to length of gestation or time of day. Ketonuria probably occurs sporadically in most normal pregnancies.
