KetoacidosisDiabetesAcetoneUnexpected death caused by diabetic or alcoholic ketoacidosis is easily overlooked due to the non-specific symptoms. Although the acid betahydroxybutyrate (BHB) is the most abundant ketone body formed in conditions with ketoacidosis, routine analysis in postmortem investigations ...

Objective The measurement of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) carries high significance for the diagnosis, prognosis as well as treatment decisions in canine and feline diabetic ketoacidosis. The aim of this study was to establish clinically usable cut-off values for BHOB measurements in dogs and cats ...
hydroxybutyrateAlcoholicketosisThe purpose of this study was to determine if the ketone body 尾-hydroxybutyrate (beta-HBA) is a useful positive marker for sudden deaths in chronic alcoholics, thought to be due to hypoglycemia. Beta-HBA can be reliably measured in postmortem samples of vitreous ...

Cases were sorted into six categories of death: (i) sudden traumatic/non‐natural (ST), (ii) sudden natural (SN), (iii) prolonged traumatic/non‐natural (PT), (iv) prolonged natural (PN), (v) diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), and (vi) alcoholic ketoacidosis (AKA). The mean BHB for all...
Vitreous BHB was a marker of diabetic ketoacidosis when above 6.0 mM with a vitreous glucose over 200 mg/dL. It was an indicator (>50%) for alcoholic ketoacidosis when above 6.0 mM with a vitreous glucose below 200 mg/dL. Recommendations for interpretation of vitreous BHB: 6.0 mM...
