Clinical utility of beta-hydroxybutyrate measurement in the management of physiological ketosis at home in children under 5.

CONCLUSIONS: 3HB monitor in capillary blood is more effective and clinically more useful in diagnosing and managing of an ongoing ketosis in children with a mild infective disease than ketones detection in the urine. These advantages are mitigated by the cost of 3HB measurement.
