We quantitated serial serum beta-hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB) levels using the Ketosite method in 9 children with IDDM who were treated for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and compared them to urinary ketone measurements by dipstick. Persistent elevations of serum β-OHB were seen in six patients when...
Beta-Hydroxybutyrate 21FS (β-hydroxybutyrate, BHB) from Vidan Diagnostics for Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA).
This can result in a high rate of unnecessary laboratory testing and workups, increasing both time spent in the emergency department and cost. In this study we compared the use of a point-of-care beta-hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB) test to the urine dip in diagnosing DKA. Methods Patients over...
Objectives: While critically important, the rapid identification of the etiology of metabolic acidosis (MA) may be labor-intensive and time-consuming. Alcoholic, starvation, and severe diabetic ketoacidosis (AKA, SKA, and DKA, respectively) may produce 尾-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) in marked excess of ...
A retrospective, cross‐sectional analysis of vitreous beta‐hydroxybutyrate (BHB) on 967 forensic cases over a two‐year period was conducted. Cases were sorted into six categories of death: (i) sudden traumatic/non‐natural (ST), (ii) sudden natural (SN), (iii) prolonged traumatic/non‐...
