Overview
Natural History
- Vomiting or nausea
- Shortness of breath or fruity breath
- Decreased consciousness or mental stupor
Complications
People with diabetic ketoacidosis need close and frequent monitoring for complications. Surprisingly, the most common complications of DKA are related to the treatment:
- Hypokalemia and often, potassium depletion
- Cerebral edema [1]
- Hyperglycemia
- Ketoacidemia
- Fluid and electrolyte depletion [2]
- Aspiration
- Unrecognized renal tubular necrosis
- Pulmonary edema [3]
Prognosis
Prognosis of diabetic ketoacidosis depends on:
- Whether the patient is diagnised or treated in time
- The age of the patient: Older people have worse outcomes than the young.
- Whether complications, such as heart attack, renal failure and hypokalemia occur.
