Hyperglycemia
- Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
- Lack of Insulin
- Glucose can't enter cell
- Cells Starved; Glucagon Released
- Free fatty acids formed
- Metabolized into ketones
- Acetone smell respirations
- Leads to metabolic acidosis
- Excess ketones require
kidneys to eliminate in urine
- Sodium Buffer; pulls more water
and electrolytes increasing
volume depletion
- Gluconeogenesis
- More Glucose Released
- Further elevated BGL
- Glucose molecules produce
osmotic diuresis
- Large amount water drawn into renal tubules
- Excessive Urination
- Dehydration/ Volume Depletion
- Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar
Nonketotic Syndrome (HHNS)
- Lack of Insulin or Insulin Resistance
- Glucose can't enter cell
- Small amounts of circulating
insulin prevent ketoacidosis
- Elevated BGL creates
hyperosmolar extracellular
space
- Intracellular Fluid pulled
into extracellular space
- Serum osmotic pressure pulls
electrolytes from tissues
- Serum Eletrolyte levels
may appear normal or
even elevated
- Electrolytes actually
extremely depleted at
cellular level
- Glucose molecules produce
osmotic diuresis
- Intravascular volume
drastically depleted
- Kidneys now hypoperfused
- Circulatory Collapse
