Learning Objective
To be able to define, recognize and
discriminate
between
diabetic
ketoacidosis and the hyperosmolarhyperglycemic state also hypoglycemia
To
understand
the
basic
pathophysiology of each syndrome
To understand their general treatment
strategies
including
potential
complications from treatment
The Homeostasis
of diabetes
Diabetic Ketoacidosis : Hyperglycemia,
ketosis,acidemia
Mortality rates :
< 1%
(adult subjects)
>5%
(elderly and in pts with concomitant life
threatening illnesses)
Precipitating factors
