Hydroxy- and oxomonocarboxylic acids in urine of healthy individuals and of patients with diabetic ketoacidosis are analysed as methyl esters and methyl esters/O-methyloximes, respectively, by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The derivatives are pre-fractionated by thin-layer chromatography. The acids
