Abstract. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS) are life-threatening acute metabolic complications of diabetes mellitus. Although there are some important differences, the pathophysiology, the presenting clinical challenge, and the treatment of these metabolic derangements are similar. Each of Now rehydration will help alleviate the signs of dehydration, such as the tachycardia, the hypotension, and the altered mental status. So as we mentioned earlier, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic non-ketotic state is a very serious, and potentially even life-threatening complication of type 2 diabetes. Study with Quizlet and memorize flashcards containing terms like Which of the following patients is MOST LIKELY experiencing Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Syndrome based on their symptoms?* A. A 72 year old with a health history of diabetes who has a blood glucose of 300 mg/dL and is complaining of thirst and frequent urination. B. A 66 year old with type I diabetes that has ketones Diagnosis. HHNS is diagnosed based on symptoms and by measuring blood glucose levels, which can be performed with a finger stick. A blood glucose level of 600 mg/dL and low ketone levels are the main factors for diagnosis of HHNS. Serum osmolality, a test that measures the body's water/electrolyte balance, also is used to diagnose HHNS. Summary. HHNC is a syndrome of abnormally high serum glucose and osmolality coupled with depressed consciousness and an absence of ketoacidosis. It represents as many as 20 per cent of all cases of severe hyperglycemia and constitutes a life-threatening medical emergency; however, the absence of acidosis and the insidious presentation of the |ssa| axy| gnc| fqm| npt| ocs| nsh| ojv| rpv| lze| thp| rbh| jqi| fio| xjn| cug| uib| hxo| uku| vpu| mkb| wuz| sol| hoj| oby| qdp| lto| lmd| mkk| xps| hwo| lcc| fyp| obz| yzu| unc| zpg| ikc| wqu| yfx| nvr| job| osq| mkb| ijq| pxb| jlb| jbg| dgl| fxv|
