Diabetic ketoacidosis

Abstract: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most common acute hyperglycaemic emergency in people with diabetes mellitus. 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 management are paramount to improve patient outcomes. The mainstays of treatment include restoration of circulating volume, … Show more

“…Diabetic ketoacidosis is the most common hyperglycemic crisis, which also includes HHS and the combined syndrome of DKA and HHS, often referred to as hyperosmolar ketoacidosis [ 31 ]. Diabetic ketoacidosis occurs in the setting of relative or absolute insulin deficiency that tips the insulin:glucagon ratio in favor of glucagon; this leads to reduced glucose utilization and unchecked lipolysis, causing excessive formation of ketone bodies and finally metabolic acidosis [ 32 , 33 ]. Although DKA is more likely to occur in T1DM, it is estimated that the majority of the DKA cases worldwide occur in patients with T2DM due to its higher prevalence [ 33 ].…”

“…Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute, serious, and potentially life-threatening metabolic complication of type 1 diabetes ( 1 ). Although reported annual incidence of DKA varies widely, it is estimated to affect about 5–8% of adults with type 1 diabetes ( 2 4 ).…”

“…Although reported annual incidence of DKA varies widely, it is estimated to affect about 5–8% of adults with type 1 diabetes ( 2 4 ). From 2009 to 2014 in the U.S., DKA hospitalization rates increased an average of 6.3% each year ( 1 ). DKA incidence is highest in children and tends to decline with age ( 2 , 3 ).…”

“…The review focuses on T2D and does not include T1D. However, as a large proportion of people diagnosed with T1D have ketoacidosis, with incidence varying in different populations from 13% to 80% [22], recognising the main symptoms of T1D can help to get a diagnosis before ketoacidosis develops. Some of the most noticeable and common symptoms include excessive thirst, unusually high levels of urination, tiredness, loss of muscular bulk and unexplained weight loss.…”
