Key Concepts about DKA
? Ketoacid production is a normal component of fatty acid metabolism, which is controlled by insulin
? Although ketoacidosis occurs most frequently in diabetics with hyperglycemia, it is not caused by elevated glucose levels
? Insulin activity is opposed by the counterregulatory hormones: primarily glucagon, but also cortisol, Epi, NE, & growth hormone
? These are elevated during physiological stresses- e.g. infection, trauma, surgery, myocardial infarction; high dose steroid therapy
? Even type-2 diabetics may develop DKA if elevated C-R hormones
? The 2 primary ketoacids are acetoacetate and -OH-Butyrate
? KA production is inhibited by insulin Rx, but it usually takes 18-24 hrs to clear the existing KAs
Ketoacidosis
? Excessive lipolysis and fatty acyl-
Co A due to reduced insulin /
increased counterregulatory
hormones (glucagon, GH, cortisol,
epinephrine, norepinephrine)
X
? Lipogenesis pathways inhibited by the hormone environment
? Accumulating acetyl-CoA favors formation of ketone bodies, mostly -OH-butyrate, also acetoacetate and small amounts of acetone
Therapy of DKA
? ECF Depletion- isotonic fluids ? Hyperosmolality- treat hyperglycemia and free water deficit ? Metabolic Acidosis- suppress ketoacid production
and support clearance ? Intracellular Ion Imbalance- restore ECF/ICF equilibrium and replace deficits
Fluid Resuscitation
? Typically DKA patients have ECF depletion due to hyperglycemiainduced osmotic diuresis over the preceding days
? There is also a shift of ICF-to-ECF due to hyperglycemia, so that the physical exam may underestimate the volume deficit
? The first priority of DKA therapy is to administer 0.9% NaCl to restore hemodynamic stability and renal perfusion
? In adults, 1-2 liters are given in the first hour
? Urine output may increase dramatically once renal perfusion is restored, and this will continue until hyperglycemia is reduced
? Important to replace urine output, as well as to correct ECF fluid deficit
Insulin Therapy
? Usually regular insulin is given, by the i.v. route ? Begin insulin after the 1st hour of normal saline infusion ? Adults- 0.1 u/kg bolus, and 0.1 u/kg/hr infusion, or start infusion at
0.14 u/hr without the initial bolus ? Children- more common to start infusion without a bolus dose ? If serum potassium concentration ................
