The presence of acetone or acetone bodies in urine, often a sign of diabetes or metabolic disorder.
From 'dia-' (through) + 'acetone' (a ketone compound) + '-uria' (urine condition), literally 'acetone in urine.'
Diacetonuria is your body's chemical SOS signal—when diabetics can't properly use glucose, they burn fat instead, producing acetone that spills into urine, which is why diabetic emergencies smell fruity.
