Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1a-c) and serum albumin (glycosyl-albumin) have been determined in patients with severe diabetic ketoacidosis and non-acidotic coma. Within one week of therapy the level of glycosyl-albumin decreased from 184 mmol 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)/mol albumin to 152 mmol
Ischemia modified albumin (IMA) is a biomarker that has been introduced recently for use in the evaluation of the oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to measure the ischemia modified albumin serum levels in pediatric patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) during acidosis and UNASSIGNED
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. One of the acute complications of diabetes mellitus is diabetic ketoacidosis. It becomes essential for the healthcare physicians to identify the individuals who are likely to be prone to the development of ketosis. Serum
We compared low-dose insulin regimens in a prospective randomized trial in 30 patients with diabetic ketoacidosis. One group received a loading dose of 0.44 U/kg body weight of regular insulin half intramuscularly and half intravenously followed by 7 U/h intramuscularly, whereas the other group
Diabetes mellitus type 3c (DM3c) is an uncommon cause of diabetes due to pancreatic pathology. Its prevalence reaches about 5-10% among all diabetics in the Western world, largely due to chronic pancreatitis. DM3c occurs due to the destruction of the endocrine islet cells. Glucagon and insulin
OBJECTIVE
During the acute treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis we (a) determined the temporal incidence of hyperchloraemia, and (b) quantified the influence of hyperchloraemia on interpretation of common blood gas derived acid base parameters, namely base deficit and
BACKGROUND
To investigate whether serum ischemia-modified albumin or C-reactive protein is reliable for predicting type 2 diabetic patients with ketosis.
METHODS
One hundred and four diabetic patients, 48 with diabetic ketosis, and 33 controls were enrolled in the study. Serum ischemia-modified
Serum fructosamine, albumin and plasma glucose were studied in eight patients during recovery from diabetic ketoacidosis, and in eight patients with "decompensated" diabetes without acidosis. In the ketoacidotic group, serum fructosamine had fallen significantly by a mean of 12% by 8h, and fell
Although "unmeasured" anions contribute to metabolic acidosis in a variety of disease states, they are generally not measured directly but estimated from the calculation of "gaps." Among the most commonly used method, the anion gap (AG) is not only a function of "unmeasured" anions, but also it is a
Brain edema (BE) is an uncommon but life-threatening complication of severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and its treatment. Despite advances in treatment of DKA, the pathogenesis of both initiation and progression of the associated BE is unclear. In the present study we examined the blood brain
A regimen is described to simplify current methods of ketoacidosis therapy by using only standard intravenous equipment and without requiring albumin administration. After an initial intravenous insulin bolus of 2 units, a dose of up to 3 units per hour was sufficient to bring patients out of
Although mortality of diabetic ketoacidosis (KA) has decreased during the past 20 yr to 1-2%, hyperosmolar non-ketotic coma (HNC) is still lethal in 20-30% of cases due to severe underlying conditions or to complications. The most frequent causes of death are infections and thromboembolic disorders.
BACKGROUND
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is characterized by a biochemical triad of hyperglycemia, acidosis, and ketonemia. This condition is life-threatening despite improvements in diabetic care. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and biochemical prognostic markers of DKA. We
BACKGROUND
Immunotherapy has been approved for treatment of melanoma. Autoimmune endocrinopathies have been reported in trials involving immunotherapy but autoimmune diabetes has not been definitively linked to them. Here we describe a case of autoimmune diabetes presenting with DKA after receiving
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic high blood glucose concentrations (hyperglycemia). When it is left untreated or improperly managed, it can lead to acute complications including diabetic ketoacidosis and non-ketotic hyperosmolar coma. In addition,
