Introduction
• Incidence is between 4.6 and 8.0 per 1000 person-years
among patients with diabetes.
• Most serious acute metabolic complications of diabetes
mellitus and are still associated with excess mortality.
• Estimated mortality rate for DKA is between 4% and 10%.
• Early diagnosis and management with attention to
prevention strategies are essential to improve patients
outcomes.
• The approach to the diagnosis and treatment of DKA and
hyperglicemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) are similar.

Precipitating Factor
• Infection was identified as the most common precipitating
factor for diabetic ketoacidosis (45%), followed by insulin
omission (20%).
• Other precipitating factors are silent myocardial infarction,
cerebrovascular accident, mesenteric ischemia, acute
pancreatitis and use of medications such as steroids,
thiazide diuretics, calcium-channel blockers, propranolol
and phenytoin.
• In 2%–10% of cases no obvious precipitating factor can
be identified
Diagnose
• If physical examination reveals dehydration along with a
high capillary blood glucose level with or without urine or
increased plasma ketone bodies, acute diabetic
decompensation should be strongly suspected.

Complication Related to Treatment
• Cerebral edema and adult respiratory distress syndrome
To reduce the risk, it is recommended that physicians correct sodium and
water deficits gradually and avoid the rapid decline in plasma glucose
concentration.
• Vascular thrombosis
Low-dose or low-molecular-weight heparin therapy should be considered for
prophylaxis in patients at high risk of thrombosis. However, there are no data
demonstrating its safety or efficacy.
