Overview

The hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) is the result of relative insulin deficiency and excess of counter-regulatory hormones like glucagon, growth hormone, catecholamine, and cortisol. The decrease in insulin-to-glucagon ratio puts the body in the catabolic state and leads to hyperglycemic and hyperosmolar state. The hyperglycemia is secondary to activation of gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis and decreased peripheral utilization of glucose. The increase in plasma osmolality is secondary to osmotic diuresis and dehydration. Advanced age and other underlying comorbidities such as congestive heart failure or chronic kidney disease, decrease in fluid intake and osmotic diuresis leading to activation of renal angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) further aggravate the increase in plasma osmolality. There is enough endogenous insulin secretion in the hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) to prevent unrestrained ketosis but not enough to prevent hyperglycemia.

Glucose homeostasis

Anabolic state during meals

Catabolic state between meals

Pathogenesis

The progression to hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) can occur due to the reduction in the net effective concentration of insulin relative to glucagon and other counter-regulatory stress hormones (catecholamines, cortisol, and growth hormone), which may be seen in a multitude of settings:[2][3][4]

Hyperglycemia in hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS)

Hyperglycemia in HHS develops as a result of three processes:[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]

(a) Increased gluconeogenesis
(b) Increased glycogenolysis
(c) Impaired glucose utilization by peripheral tissues

Lipid and ketone metabolism in hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS)

The main mechanisms involved in ketone metabolism in hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state include the following:[16][17][11][18][10][19][20]
