Ketonemia is high blood ketone levels. When associated with diabetes, it's called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
What is the medical term meaning abnormal production of ketone bodies in the blood and tissue?
ketoacidosis.
What Is the abnormal production of ketone bodies in the blood and tissue as a result of fat catabolism in cells?
The abnormal production of ketone bodies in the blood and tissues due to excessive fat breakdown is called ketosis. This can occur in conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, fasting, or following a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet. Ketosis can lead to symptoms such as fruity-smelling breath, fatigue, and in severe cases, ketoacidosis.

What causes a build up of ketones in the blood?
When Insulin level is decreased the pathways such as glycolysis, Glucogenolysis, fatty acid synthesis decreases as a result glucagon stimulates gluconeogenesis, fatty acid lysis, acetyl coA is diverted to form ketone bodies , ketogenic amino acids stored as proteins will form ketones by this ketone bodies increases in blood .. this happens even in high starvation, in DM also.
Is ketosis infectious?
Ketosis is a state characterized by elevated levels of ketone bodies in the blood, occurring when the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies (which can be used by all of the body for energy as an alternative to glucose). These ketone bodies are a by-product of the lipid metabolic pathway after the fat is converted to energy.|Ketoacidosis, by contrast, is the accumulation of excessive keto acids in the blood stream (specifically acetoacetate and beta-hydroxy butyrate). Whereas most consider ketoacidosis to be a medical condition, a minority of specialists believe that ketosis is not.People mistake ketosis for ketoacidosis and think it is infectiousso ketosis is not infectious
