The American Diabetes Association (ADA) defines DKA as a combination of hyperglycemia with a blood glucose ≥250 mg/dL, a metabolic acidosis with bicarbonate ≤18 mEq/L, an anion gap >10, and ...

Additionally, a bicarbonate level equal to or less than 18 millimoles per liter (mmol/l) and an anion gap of more than 10 mmol/l indicate DKA. Doctors classify DKA as mild, moderate, or severe.

Selection criteria included blood glucose > 250 mg/dL, anion gap > 10, ketones as determined by beta-hydroxybutyrate ≥ 0.6 mmol/L, and available urine toxicology screening on admission.

Increase potassium replacement; may require concentrated potassium infusion at 0.1–0.3 mEq/kg/h Hyperkalemia Generally secondary to intracellular to extracellular shift; infrequently renal failure ...

In the study, researchers suggested diagnostic criteria for hyperglycemic ketosis related to cannabis hyperemesis syndrome, including a blood glucose of 250 mg/dL or higher, an anion gap of more ...

Background: The leading cause of mortality for children with diabetes is DKA, with cerebral oedema the main cause of death. The onset of cerebral oedema is unpredictable; therefore the key to ...

Ketoacid anion levels rise, and an anion gap metabolic acidosis results. Renal compensation. The kidneys decrease glucose reabsorption, and excess glucose is released in the urine.
