What are the dangers of Ketoacidosis?
Diabetic ketoacidosis is caused by lack of insulin, and is generally triggered by some other body insult including dehydration, fasting, illness or infection. Once ketoacidosis begins in earnest, it causes itself to get worse. All of its symptoms are also causes of further problems, so it will generally continue to advance until treatment or death. More details on the mechanism of how ketoacidosis begins are available on the wikipedia link below. Ketoacidosis is often associated with hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), but hyperglycemia won't actually cause Ketoacidosis. They are both caused by shortage of insulin.

A feature of ketosis is?
Ketosis is the state of having elevated ketone bodies in the blood stream. Ketone bodies are formed by ketogenesis when liver glycogen stores are depleted. Ketone bodies are acidic, and prolonged exposure can overrun the compensatory mechanisms resulting in ketoacidosis ( pH under 7.35). Most commonly, ketoacidosis is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), resulting from increased fat metabolism due to a shortage of insulin. It is associated primarily with type I diabetes, and may result in a diabetic coma if left untreated. In alcoholic ketoacidosis, alcohol causes dehydration and blocks the first step of gluconeogenesis. The body is unable to synthesize enough glucose to meet its needs, thus creating an energy crisis resulting in fatty acid metabolism, and ketone body formation.
