Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of diabetes characterized by high blood sugar, ketones in the blood and urine, and dangerously low pH levels. It occurs when there is not enough insulin to allow glucose to be used for energy, causing the liver to break down fat into ketones instead. Overproduction of ketones makes the blood acidic, and DKA mainly affects those with type 1 diabetes but can also impact some with type 2. DKA is treated with fluids, electrolytes, and insulin to rebalance sugar and ketone levels, but treatment can sometimes cause complications like low potassium, swelling of the brain, or organ damage from fluid loss if not carefully managed.

DKA pathophysiology
Insulin deficiency and excess glucagon lead to abnormal carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism resulting in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Specifically:
1) Impaired glucose utilization and increased gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis cause hyperglycemia.
2) Increased lipolysis and synthesis of ketone bodies in the liver from free fatty acids causes ketoacidosis and metabolic acidosis.
3) Glucose levels are usually lower in DKA compared to hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) due to greater urinary glucose excretion in DKA patients, who are usually younger with better kidney function. Insulin levels are sufficient to prevent ketogenesis in H

The document discusses diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a life-threatening complication that occurs most often in patients with type 1 diabetes. DKA is characterized by hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and ketosis. It results from a lack of insulin and excess counterregulatory hormones that cause fat and protein breakdown. This leads to ketone accumulation and high blood glucose levels. Treatment involves insulin, intravenous fluids, electrolyte replacement, and monitoring for complications like cerebral edema.
Diabetic ketoacidosis
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when there is not enough insulin in the body and blood sugars rise dramatically. The three criteria for diagnosing DKA are hyperglycemia (high blood sugar over 11 mmol/L), acidosis (low blood pH below 7.3), and ketosis (presence of ketones in blood or urine). DKA is caused by factors like infection, illness, alcohol or drug use, or discontinuing insulin. It can cause symptoms such as excessive urination and thirst, fast breathing, nausea, vomiting, and loss of consciousness. Treatment involves fluid replacement, insulin administration, and correcting electrolyte imbalances.

Diabetic Keto-Acidosis final
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a life-threatening complication that occurs predominantly in patients with type 1 diabetes due to a lack of insulin. The body switches to burning fatty acids which produces acidic ketone bodies, causing symptoms like weakness, shortness of breath, fruity breath, confusion and abdominal pain. Diagnosis is based on high plasma glucose, low pH and bicarbonate levels, high anion gap, and strong urine and serum ketones. Treatment involves gradual fluid replacement, electrolyte correction, low-dose insulin therapy to gradually lower blood glucose levels, and treating any precipitating causes.
DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS (DKA)
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones. The condition develops when your body can't produce enough insulin.
When your cells don't get the glucose they need for energy, your body begins to burn fat for energy, which produces ketones. Ketones are chemicals that the body creates when it breaks down fat to use for energy. The body does this when it doesn’t have enough insulin to use glucose, the body’s normal source of energy. When ketones build up in the blood, they make it more acidic.
Types of ketoacidosis
Alcoholic ketoacidosis (AKA) is a metabolic complication that can occur in chronic alcohol abusers during periods of heavy drinking and malnutrition. It results from high levels of ketone bodies in the blood (ketosis) and low blood pH (acidosis). AKA develops when alcohol metabolism prevents the liver from producing glucose, forcing the body to break down fat and protein instead. This leads to ketone production and metabolic acidosis. Symptoms include vomiting, dehydration, and altered mental status. Treatment involves fluid resuscitation, electrolyte replacement, insulin administration, and treating any underlying infections. With prompt treatment, the prognosis for AKA is generally good.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis Presentation
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a life-threatening condition caused by insulin deficiency and resistance, leading to excessive production of ketoacids by the liver and metabolic acidosis. It commonly affects older dogs and cats and has an acute onset of lethargy, vomiting, and dehydration. Treatment involves aggressive fluid therapy, insulin administration, and electrolyte replacement to slowly correct blood glucose and acidosis over 24-48 hours, monitoring for complications like hypoglycemia. Long-term management focuses on insulin therapy, diet, exercise and monitoring to control blood glucose levels.

Diabetes mellitus
This document discusses diabetes mellitus, including its types and pathophysiology. It defines diabetes as a chronic metabolic disorder where the body cannot properly metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins due to lack of or ineffective insulin. The three main types are type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Complications for both mother and fetus are explained.
Diabetes awareness
There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body destroys insulin-producing cells, requiring insulin treatment. Type 2 diabetes results from the body not producing enough insulin or cells ignoring insulin, and can usually be treated through diet and medication changes. Both types result in high blood glucose levels over time and can lead to chronic complications affecting the kidneys, nerves, feet, eyes, heart, and other organs if not properly managed. Common symptoms of high blood glucose include extreme thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, and weight changes. Treatment focuses on monitoring blood sugar levels, exercise, diet, medications including insulin injections, and preventing severe long-term health issues.

Dka[2]
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) occurs when a person with diabetes, usually type 1, becomes dehydrated and develops a relative insulin deficiency. This causes the body to break down fat and muscle for fuel, producing ketones that build up in the blood and make it acidic. Common symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, nausea, vomiting, and fruity-smelling breath. DKA is typically treated with fluid replacement and insulin therapy to lower blood sugar and ketone levels while rehydrating the patient. Complications can include hypokalemia, cerebral edema, and respiratory or kidney issues if treatment is not administered properly.
BLOOD SUGAR
Blood sugar spikes occur when glucose builds up in the bloodstream due to the body's inability to properly use insulin to unlock cells and allow glucose to enter. Without insulin, glucose levels rise over time. Long-term high blood sugar can damage organs and blood vessels. Symptoms of a spike include frequent urination, fatigue, increased thirst, blurred vision and headaches. It's important to monitor blood sugar levels and take action like exercising or using insulin carefully under a doctor's guidance to avoid dangerous conditions like ketoacidosis.

Diabetes Mellitus (Endocrine disorder)
The pancreas secretes enzymes to help digest food and hormones like insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the body does not respond properly to insulin, resulting in high blood sugar. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1 is characterized by lack of insulin production; type 2 is caused by insulin resistance; and gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy. Long-term complications of high blood sugar include damage to organs and blood vessels. Diagnosis involves testing blood sugar levels through fasting plasma glucose tests or oral glucose tolerance tests.

Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by high blood sugar levels due to insufficient insulin production or impaired insulin utilization. It can be caused by genetic, autoimmune, viral, or environmental factors and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. Without enough insulin, glucose stays in the blood instead of being used for energy, leading to complications over time such as damage to blood vessels, nerves, eyes, and kidneys. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a life-threatening complication of diabetes caused by lack of insulin and an accumulation of ketones in the blood, with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, and confusion. Proper management of diabetes can help prevent acute complications and reduce the risk of long-term damage.

Diabetic ketoacidosis
- 1. DIABETIC KETOCIDOSIS PRESENTED BY; BAKHAT ALI 1ST YEAR STUDENT PIRMS
- 2. DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS ● 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 that the liver rapidly breaks down fat into ketones to employ as a fuel source
- 3. ● The overproduction of ketones ensues, causing them to accumulate in the blood and urine and turn the blood acidic. ● DKA occurs mainly in patients with type 1 diabetes, but it is not uncommon in some patients with type 2 diabetes
- 4. ● Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious condition that can lead to diabetic coma (passing out for a long time) or even death. ● When your cells don't get the glucose they need for energy, your body begins to burn fat for energy, which produces ketones
- 5. ● DKA is caused by a lack of insulin in the body, which results in the body breaking down fat for energy. ● Ketones are released into the body as the fat is broken down. If you have diabetes, certain things can make this more likely to happen, including: having an infection, such as flu or a urinary tract infection (UTI)
- 6. ● Diabetic ketoacidosis is treated with fluids, electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and chloride and insulin. ● Perhaps surprisingly, the most common complications of diabetic ketoacidosis are related to this lifesaving treatment.
- 7. cause complications ● Low levels of potassium (hypokalemia) ● Swelling inside the brain (cerebral edema) ● Fluid inside your lungs (pulmonary edema) ● Damage to your kidney or other organs from your fluid loss.
