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 Also in subject areas: ...
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 (DKA) consists of the biochemical triad of hyperglycaemia, ketonaemia, and high anion gap metabolic acidosis. It is one of the most common, costly, and dangerous acute complications in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The most common risk factors for DKA are poor comp...
(Lack of insulin is the key cause of diabetic ketoacidosis [DKA].) She also complains of blurry vision (secondary to volume depletion), vague abdominal pain (metabolic acidosis results in gastric distension and blockage, and β-hydroxybutyrate induces vomiting), cramping in her extremities (...

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycaemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) are serious acute metabolic complications of diabetes mellitus, representing points along a spectrum of hyperglycaemic emergencies caused by poor glycaemic control DKA comprises hyperglycaemia, hyperketonaemia and metabolic acidosis; dia...
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most severe acute complication of type 1 diabetes. About 30-40% of freshly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients present with DKA. This condition is also the commonest cause of death in these children.
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....
A diagnosis of DKA is confirmed when all of the three criteria are present —‘D’, either elevated blood glucose levels or a family history of diabetes mellitus; ‘K’, the presence of high urinary or blood ketoacids; and ‘A’, a high anion gap metabolic acidosis. Early diagnosis and ...
