Symptoms of diabetic acidosis

summary

Diabetic ketoacidosis is an acute complication of diabetes. It is easy to cause severe water loss when diabetic ketoacidosis occurs. What is the specific, ketoacidosis is a complication of diabetes, this is because the lack of insulin in patients with diabetes makes the body blood glucose levels continue to rise, resulting in hyperglycemia, hyperketosis, and then lead to ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis is more common in patients with type 1 diabetes, and may occur in patients with type 2 diabetes. Ketoacidosis is very acute, and the disease performance changes quickly. The number of ketone body generated in the patient's body is too much, and the sugar metabolism is disorder. This will increase the content of carbonic acid in the blood, and then induce acidosis. Let's have a look.

Symptoms of diabetic acidosis

Although it is necessary to correct the phenomenon of ketoacidosis in the rescue process of ketoacidosis patients, this kind of corrective treatment should not be carried out too early. Because diabetic ketoacidosis is often caused by the lack of insulin, so we should choose to use insulin to inhibit the ketone body after the current acidosis, so as to indirectly correct the acidosis.

For comatose patients, catheters should be inserted, and the volume of urination and ketone body should be observed and recorded. If infection is suspected, antibiotics should be continued. If the patient's body potassium ion loss is serious, it needs to actively supplement potassium.

After the onset of ketoacidosis should continue to do rescue, and need to actively check the blood glucose and plasma electrolyte and pH value and other personality indicators, and in the process of rescue every 3 to 4 hours or so need to be reexamined. In the process of rescue, if the patient is unconscious, catheterization is needed.

matters needing attention

Of course, if ketoacidosis occurs, rehydration should be considered if the loss of body fluid is serious, but the rehydration should not be excessive, otherwise it is easy to lead to the rapid decline of blood glucose, and may induce brain edema. People with renal insufficiency are not allowed to rehydrate at will.
