Which of the following is false about starvation ketoacidosis ?
Correct answer: D. Benedict's test +ve
- A. Metabolic acidosis
- B. Smell of acetone in breath
- C. Rothera's test is +ve
- D. Benedict's test +ve
Explanation
Starvation ketoacidosis causes metabolic acidosis, acetone-smelling breath, and a positive Rothera test for ketone bodies. Benedict’s test detects reducing sugars and is not the appropriate positive test for ketonemia or ketonuria, so it is the false statement.
