diabetic ketoacidosis/edema

OBJECTIVE To alert physicians to the possibility of pulmonary edema as a complication of diabetic ketoacidosis. METHODS We report a case of adult respiratory distress syndrome after resuscitative efforts to compensate the first episode of diabetic ketoacidosis in a previously healthy young

Three patients who developed fatal cerebral edema in the diabetes camp setting were reviewed with 14 previously reported instances in persons under 21 years of age. Seven occurred in the initial episode of diabetic ketoacidosis. Minimal blood glucose levels less than 250 mg/dl were recorded in 8/17.

Cerebral edema is a serious complication of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children and is the most frequent diabetes-related cause of death in this age group. Many theories have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of this complication, but data from the literature have not clearly supported

Symptomatic cerebral edema occurs in approximately 1% of children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). However, asymptomatic or subclinical cerebral edema is thought to occur more frequently. Some small studies have found narrowing of the cerebral ventricles indicating cerebral edema in most or all

The insulin-induced edema is a rare complication of insulin therapy. Two mechanisms are known, the sodium and water retention and vasoactive mediator's release. We report the case of a 32 years-old patient, with a history of diabetes for one month treated with metformin. He was hospitalized for

The acute complications of diabetic ketoacidosis in children and adolescents are well recognized but not completely understood. Clinical studies have focused primarily on brain edema. We have investigated the prevalence and course of interstitial pulmonary edema in patients with severe diabetic

In the recent years we have been observing an increased incidence of type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents. This leads to a more frequent acute complication of type 1 diabetes among children with hyperglycemia. The most common of these is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), while cerebral edema is

The effect of crystalloid volume loading on serum colloid osmotic pressure, arterial oxygen (Po2), alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (A-aDo2), and cerebral lateral ventricle dimensions was prospectively studied in 18 patients with diabetic ketoacidosis. Serial measurements showed concomitant

Four cases of cerebral edema associated with therapy for diabetic ketoacidosis are reported. One patient had an inappropriate ADH-like syndrome at the time of onset of clinical symptoms of cerebral edema; he survived. The remaining patients had hyponatremia at or near the time of onset of clinical

Hemodynamic evaluation in two patients and analysis of pulmonary edema fluid in one patient with diabetic ketoacidosis and acute pulmonary edema were performed. Pulmonary arterial wedge pressures in both patients were low or normal (1 and 9 mm Hg). In one patient the colloid osmotic pressure of the

To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of corneal hydrops associated with diabetic ketoacidosis. The present study first reports a case of a 20-year-old male patient with diabetic ketoacidosis-induced corneal hydrops. The patient exhibited mild hydrops in their left eyelid, which

Cerebral edema is the most significant complication in children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Our goal was to study whether subclinical cerebral edema was preferentially vasogenic or cytotoxic. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)--diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and T2 relaxometry (T2R)--were

Cerebral edema in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA-CE) occurs primarily in children and can develop during DKA therapy. The treatment factors contributing to DKA-CE remain elusive. Our objectives were to characterize an age-appropriate DKA mouse model and to determine which DKA therapies contribute to

Cerebral edema is the leading cause of death in children presenting in diabetic ketoacidosis and occurs in 0.2 to 1% of cases. The osmolar gradient caused by the high blood glucose results in water shift from the intracelluar fluid (ICF) to the extracellular fluid (ECF) space and contraction of cell
