What else can I help you with?
What does PH 7.26 in diabetic ketoacidosis mean?
Normal blood pH is 7.35-7.45, this result is acidic which is expected in a DKA state.
What is diabetic keratosis?
You mean "Diabetic Ketoacidosis", check for it on Google. There's no such thing as diabetic keratosis.
Where can I find information about diabetic ketoacidosis?
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a condition which is thought to affect about 1 in 750 people in their lifetime. More information can be obtained from reputable medical journals or a doctor.
Which condition may progress to diabetic ketoacidosis?
Diabetes, if untreated.
What would a Serum potassium level of 2.8 indicate?
Diabetic ketoacidosis
Is ketoacidosis diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy may be complications of iddm?
FALSE
The normal blood pH for ketoacidosis?
The normal blood pH is typically between 7.35 and 7.45. In ketoacidosis, blood pH is usually lower than 7.35, indicating acidosis.
What type insulin is used for diabetic ketoacidosis?
Regular Insulin (Humulin R)
What is Blood pH level for diabetes mellitus?
In diabetes mellitus, blood pH levels are typically within the normal range of 7.35-7.45. However, complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can lead to acidosis, lowering the blood pH below the normal range. Monitoring blood pH levels is important in managing diabetes to prevent complications.
Can high levels of ketones in the blood lead to high pH of urine?
Yes, high levels of ketones in the blood can lead to an increase in urine pH. Ketones are acidic compounds, so as the body tries to eliminate them through urine, it can lead to a higher pH in the urine. This can be a sign of a metabolic imbalance such as diabetic ketoacidosis.
A patient is described as being diabetic and having Kussmaul respirations. What physiologic activity is taking place to cause this in your patient?
This sign is indicative of diabetic acidosis. The deep, rapid respirations will raise the patient's pH, thus reducing the acidotic condition. Sounds right -- I've heard it called ketoacidosis too.
What pathological conditions can arise from a large increase in blood levels of ketone bodies in diabetics?
diabetic ketoacidosis
