Diabetic KetoacidosisDiabetic Ketoacidosis General InformationDiabetic Ketoacidosis is a medical situation that can be critical if not treated correctly. Since the 1970s the frequency of this disease has rapidly increased, and there is a 1 to 2 per-cent mortality rate since the 1970s. The malady usually occurs in patients with type 1 diabetes ( also commonly known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus) but recent medical cases have shown that it also manifests in patients with type 2 diabetes (that is the non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus). Diabetic Ketoacidosis consists in hyperglycemia, ketonemia and academia. There is a possibility for each of these three to be caused by different conditions. The usually used diagnostic for Diabetic Ketoacidosis is an average deficit of water and electrolytes. Although the treatment is well known (the replacement of liquid and electrolytes and the administration of insulin in a small amount), the 1 to 2 percent death rate has remained constant for more than 30 years. This makes specialists to continue their research for a better treatment that can lower this rate or even completely eliminate it. The important components of this disease are reductions in concentrations of the insulin from the patients’ blood and simultaneous elevations of counter regulatory hormones (glucagons, cortisol, catecholamines, and growth hormone). The hormonal component is the most important because it produces hyperglycemia, academia and ketonemia. Another thing about this malady is that it usually manifests in patients with type 1 diabetes that are under 25 and it affects both male and female patients.Diabetic Ketoacidosis SymptomsThe usual symptoms of Diabetic Ketoacidosis are: thirst, vomiting, frequent urination, general weakness, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, confusion, dry skin, dry mouth, increased heart rate, low blood pressure, shortness of breath and a general ill appearance. At the beginning of the disease, the hyperglycemia causes the cells to eliminate water. This causes intracellular dehydration, hyponatremia and extra cellular fluid expansion. A later effect of hyperglycemia is diuresis, in which the amount of water lost surpasses the sodium chloride losses. Vast urinary losses lead to progressive dryness and volume depletion. This causes a great retention of glucose in plasma which results in hyperglycemia associated with metabolic acidosis. You should contact a doctor when you see that your blood sugars level is higher than 350mg or when you observe high fluctuations that cannot be stopped with home treatment. It is very important not to hesitate to contact your doctor and ask for indications when you develop fever or you are vomiting. The symptoms that should worry you most are the general ill appearance, confusion and weakness. If these symptoms occur the patient should be taken to the hospital’s emergency department. Even more important symptoms are abdominal pain, shortness of breath and chest pain. These symptoms request immediate medical intervention because they can cause the patient’s death. To find out if a patient is suffering of Diabetic Ketoacidosis a series of blood tests ought to be undergone in order to determine the level of sugar, sodium and potassium. Other tests such as ECG, urine samples or chest x-ray may be needed.Diabetic Ketoacidosis TreatmentThe treatment of Diabetic Ketoacidosis starts at home, treatment which has the role to prevent the triggering of this medical condition. The treatment consists in observing your sugar levels 3 to 4 times a day. If you notice abnormal fluctuations of your sugar levels you must try to control them by taking small doses of insulin. Keep an eye out for infections and drink as many liquids as possible so you can keep well hydrated. If you have passed the home treatment stage, the next step is medical treatment. The first step in medical treatment is to try and replace the lost fluids so the process of dehydration can be reversed. This is a critical step in treating Diabetic Ketoacidosis because it dilutes acid and glucose levels. If the blood sugar level is too high, insulin is given to the patient until it reaches the level of 250mg. At this level glucose can be administered so that the treatment with insulin can continue without experiencing hypoglycemia. Depending on the gravity of the disease the patient can be treated and sent home. If his condition is very bad he will be sent to the hospital’s intensive care unit. Either at home or at the hospital your blood sugar level must be monitored at least 4 times a day. After the crisis situation has passed you should keep in touch with your doctor so that you can regularly test your hemoglobin A1C level, your cholesterol level and your kidney function. Also you should have at least one annual eye check and periodical check your feet in order to check for any damaged nerves. Besides this usual treatment there are some other prophylaxis with potassium, bicarbonate and phosphate. When treating Diabetic Ketoacidosis with insulin and fluid replacement, the blood potassium level drops. That is why potassium is administrated intravenous in a quantity of 20 to 40 mg/L. The dose of potassium administered varies so that the patient can have a concentration of 4 to 5 mg/L in his blood. Another way to treat Diabetic Ketoacidosis is by using bicarbonate. This treatment is no longer used because the level of bicarbonate rises when in the treatment insulin is employed. The use of bicarbonate has been stopped after scientists have discovered that people with a ph higher than 7 present severe side effects. If the patient’s ph is lower than 7 the bicarbonate treatment is a viable option. The administration is done by dissolving one ampule in 300ml of water. Phosphate treatment is used in the cases that present osmotic diuresis. Even if the administration of insulin helps equilibrate the levels of phosphate, there are some cases of patients who have developed severe complications. In such cases, a higher level of phosphate is required. It is not recommended to use this kind of treatment because it does not help very much in curing Diabetic Ketoacidosis and it may cause hypocalcemia or metastatic calcification, but it helps in reducing the patients’ likelihood for developing hypophosphatemia or in reducing the amount of chloride that can cause hyperchloremic acidosis. With all these methods of treatment the most important part is the prevention of the disease that depends almost entirely on the patient. |
