Acetonemic syndrome is a set of symptoms caused by the growth of the quantity of ketone bodies (acetone) in the blood because of the metabolic disorders of carbohydrate and fat metabolism in organisms.

Most often, this syndrome can be found in children of any age, but more often, it is observed in children aged 1 to 13 years (more often in girls). This pathology is not an independent disease. It is a symptom that can accompany the primary disease.
