A 24-year-old newly diagnosed male patient with diabetes presented with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (pH 7.16, HCO3 6.0) and extreme hypertriglyceridemia (239.35 mmol/L). The diagnosis of DKA was delayed because of the apparent depression of the true serum glucose (to 11 mmol/L). He was treated with
To better characterize the severity and course of hyperlipidemia in diabetic ketosis and ketoacidosis, we measured plasma triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations in 50 episodes in 46 adults hospitalized on a municipal hospital medical service. Moderate hypertriglyceridemia was common: 32
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism that causes frequent urination, emaciation, extreme tiredness and dehydration. There is little or no information available on DKA in male goat (buck). The present study was carried out to report a rare case of DKA in Acute pancreatitis(AP) is one of the common causes of acute abdomen and known to be associated with high morbidity and mortality in severe cases. Though most common causes of AP are cholelithiasis and alcoholism, it has also been reported in association with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Triad of AP,
Soft-drink diabetic ketosis, characterized by acute onset ketosis induced by excessive ingestion of sugar-containing drinks, is often seen in obese, young patients, even with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. We herein report a 15-year-old obese patient with the apolipoprotein E4/2 phenotype, in whom
Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a known, but uncommon complication of diabetic ketoacidosis. We discuss the case of a 23-year-old, previously healthy, woman who initially presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. Grossly lipemic serum due to extremely high triglyceride (38.6 mmol/L)
To determine the acute effects of insulin on lipoprotein metabolism, we have followed the plasma lipoprotein lipid and apolipoprotein levels during insulin therapy for the first 24 hr in 13 patients with diabetic ketoacidosis. Corrections were made for plasma volume changes during treatment. Before
The mechanism by which leptin reverses diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is unknown. We examined the acute insulin-independent effects of leptin replacement therapy in a streptozotocin-induced rat model of DKA. Leptin infusion reduced rates of lipolysis, hepatic glucose production (HGP), and hepatic
Cystatin C is a marker of renal function and risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Patients with acute myocardial infarction showed a significant decrease in cystatin C levels. It is unknown whether reduced serum cystatin C levels are connected to acute events or represent a negative Systemic complications related to acute pancreatitis include acute respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hypocalcemia, hyperglycemia, and insulin dependent diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. In practice, the development of
Splanchnic exchange rates of glucose, acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, alanine, glutamine, glutamate, free fatty acids, and triglycerides were measured in eight patients during moderate to severe diabetic ketoacidosis. Their arterial glucose concentration was 20.68
We report here a case of diabetic ketoacidosis associated with hyperlipidemia and acute pancreatitis following alcohol abuse. A 23-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of right upper abdominal and back pain developing into a state of unconsciousness and shock. He had been drinking 720
The clinical features of the experimental hyperosmolar diabetic (EHD) rat model resemble those seen in the human syndrome--extreme hyperglycemia without ketoacidosis is common to both. The absence of ketoacidosis in the syndrome has been ascribed to both substrate (free fatty acid) deficiency and to
Hypertriglyceridemia is a common lipid abnormality that has serious consequences, such as acute pancreatitis and premature atherosclerosis. The consensus for first-line treatment to lower the triglyceride levels has not been fully evaluated. We present a case of very severe hypertriglyceridemia with
OBJECTIVE
Hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HP) is an uncommon condition accounting for 1% to 4% of cases of acute pancreatitis, mostly associated with poor glycemic control. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) may complicate the clinical course of HP. Our objective was to identify clinical and demographic
