Warm and flushed skin in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is primarily due to dehydration and the body's response to high blood glucose levels. The elevated blood glucose leads to osmotic diuresis, causing significant fluid loss and resulting in dehydration, which can cause the skin to appear warmer and flushed. Additionally, metabolic acidosis can lead to vasodilation, further contributing to the flushed appearance. This combination of factors reflects the body's attempts to manage the stress of the severe metabolic disturbance.

Physiologic reasons for warm dry flushed skin in septic shock?

In septic shock, warm, dry, flushed skin occurs due to peripheral vasodilation caused by the release of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and nitric oxide. This vasodilation increases blood flow to the skin, leading to a flushed appearance. Additionally, the body's attempt to compensate for decreased perfusion to vital organs can result in warm skin despite overall hypoperfusion. The loss of fluid through increased capillary permeability can also contribute to the dry appearance of the skin.
