Management of HTN in diabetes
Complications
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Free fatty acids released in
the periphery are bound
to albumin and
transported to the liver,
converted to ketone
bodies.
The primary ketone bodies
β-hydroxybutyrate (βHB) and
acetoacetic acid (AcAc) account
for the metabolic acidosis seen
in DKA. AcAc is metabolized to
acetone, another major ketone
body.
Increased ketogenesis. Low
insulin levels decrease the
ability of the brain and
cardiac and skeletal muscle
to use ketones as an energy
source, increasing ketonemia.
Hyperglycemia will cause osmotic diuresis resulting in volume depletion.
As adipose tissue is broken down,
prostaglandins I2 and E2 are
produced. Both account for the
paradoxical vasodilation that occurs
despite profound levels of volume
depletion.
High concentrations
of ketones can make
the urine acidic and
cause
fruity-smelling
breath
If not managed,
this condition can
progress to coma
(prolonged
unconsciousness)
and even death.
