Dka And Hhs. 6 often these patients are obese and extremely insulin resistant. Diabetic ketoacidosis dka and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state hhs are the two most serious metabolic complications of diabetes mellitus dm. Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state hhs 1 2 severe hyperglycemia hyperosmolality and dehydration in the absence of significant ketoacidosis. Dka presents in patients with type 1 dm t1dm while hhs is more commonly seen in patients with type 2 dm t2dm.
12 the diagnostic criteria for hhs is defined as hyperglycemia often with blood. Diabetic ketoacidosis dka and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state hhs are complications that present in the acute phase of diabetes mellitus dm. Dka presents in patients with type 1 dm t1dm while hhs is more commonly seen in patients with type 2 dm t2dm. Diabetic ketoacidosis dka 1 2 uncontrolled hyperglycemia metabolic acidosis and increased total body ketones. They are associated with increased risk of mortality 1 2. Diabetic ketoacidosis dka and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state hhs are the two most serious metabolic complications of diabetes mellitus dm.
Diabetic ketoacidosis dka and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state hhs are acute metabolic complications of diabetes mellitus that can occur in patients with both type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus.
Thus ketones are produced and the patient may present with a mix of both dka and hhs. 12 the diagnostic criteria for hhs is defined as hyperglycemia often with blood. They are associated with increased risk of mortality 1 2. Dka presents in patients with type 1 dm t1dm while hhs is more commonly seen in patients with type 2 dm t2dm. Diabetic ketoacidosis dka and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome hhs are two acute complications of diabetes that can result in increased morbidity and mortality if not efficiently and effectively treated. Diabetic ketoacidosis dka 1 2 uncontrolled hyperglycemia metabolic acidosis and increased total body ketones.
