Characters in the case:

A 32-year-old man Kyle Boulard.

Adequate information:

The results of the tests are as follows:

General Blood Urine
Blood pressure: 95/98 pH: 7.1 pH: 4.3
HR (heart rate): 110 Glucose: 345 mg/dl (milligram per deciliter) Glucose: strongly positive
Ketone bodies: 22 mg/dl Ketone bodies: strongly positive; odor: fruity acetone

To determine:

The pH of blood, as well as urine, is related to the ketone bodies measured in these bodily fluids.
