Case Summary
- Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is defined by hyperglycemia, ketosis (blood or urine), and metabolic acidosis. It must be differentiated from hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS), which involves hyperglycemia and hyperosmolarity but lacks significant ketosis or acidosis. DKA severity is stratified as mild, moderate, or severe based on glucose levels, ketonemia, and acidosis (pH or bicarbonate). Not all criteria must be fulfilled to define a DKA as mild moderate or severe.
