Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute metabolic complication of diabetes characterized by an absolute or relative insulin deficiency resulting in hyperglycemia, hyperketonemia, and metabolic acidosis. From:Endocrine Emergencies,2022 About this page ...
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute, life-threatening metabolic complication of diabetes classically associated with hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and ketosis. Though relatively uncommon, patients can also develop DKA with relative euglycemia, further complicating diagnosis. Here,...
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a form of a hyperglycemic emergency mainly characterized by the triad of hyperglycemia, ketosis, and anion gap metabolic acidosis. DKA may be the initial presentation in approximately 25-40 % of patients with type 1 diabetes. It may also occur in at least 34% ...
Diabetic ketoacidosis resulting in serious metabolic acidosis, occurring in a schizophrenic patient on treatment with clozapine is being reported to draw attention this association. Frequent monitoring of the blood sugar and lipids is advised before and during therapy with atypical antipsychotic drugs....

informative for me as it looks to be at first sight. I have come here to ask some questions about diabetes. In fact, I heard that diabetic ketoacidosis can be the first sign someone has diabetes, and that it is caused by metabolic acidosis. Can anyone tell me what metabolic acidosis is...
which cause an imbalance in ourelectrolytesystem leading to ketoacidosis (a metabolic acidosis). The sugarthat cannot be used because of the lack of insulin stays in the bloodstream (rather than going into the cell and providing energy). The kidneys filter some of the glucose (sugar) and excre...
When the accumulated ketones exceed the body's capacity to extract them, they overflow into urine (ie, ketonuria). If the situation is not treated promptly, a greater accumulation of organic acids leads to frank clinical metabolic acidosis (ie, ketoacidosis), with a significant drop in pH and...
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute, major, life-threatening complication of diabetes characterized by hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, and ketonuria. It occurs when absolute or relative insulin deficiency inhibits the ability of glucose to enter cells for utilization as metabolic fuel, the result being...
A 37-year-old man treated with valproate and lithium for bipolar affective disorder since 1999 and with risperidone since March 2003 was admitted to our clinic due to metabolic acidosis. Serum glucose was 647 mg/dL and urine ketones were positive. The patient was accepted as diabetic ketoacidosi...
