Diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar nonketotic state: gaining control over extreme hyperglycemic complications.
Postgraduate Medicine 1996 June
Decompensated hyperglycemia is a frequent, severe complication of diabetes mellitus. Ketoacidosis usually occurs in patients with insulin-dependent (type I) diabetes, and insulin therapy is required to correct their hyperglycemic derangement. Hyperosmolar nonketotic state is more common in patients with non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetes, who usually present with severe dehydration and hyperosmolar plasma. They respond readily to aggressive volume expansion, and insulin has a lesser role in management. Some patients exhibit a mixture of ketoacidosis and hyperosmolarity, which suggests that the two conditions may represent variants of decompensated hyperglycemia that differ only by the magnitude of dehydration and the severity of acidosis. All diabetic patients with hyperglycemic decompensation should return to their usual hypoglycemic programs as soon as possible and receive close follow-up after hospitalization.
