Disease

Disease Profile

Diabetic ketoacidosis is an acute, potentially life-threatening metabolic complication of diabetes characterized by hyperglycemia, insulin deficiency, ketone body production, and anion-gap metabolic acidosis. It most commonly occurs in type 1 diabetes but can also occur in type 2 diabetes under severe physiologic stress. Prompt recognition and treatment are essential to reduce morbidity and mortality.
