Can uti cause ketones in urine?there was a small amount found in my urine sample?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly indirectly. Ketones are the breakdown product of fat when it is metabolized for energy. If your appetite is off & feeding down during illness you will often have some ketones in your urine. The UTI doesn't make them, your bodies metabolism does.
