  2. Diabetic ketoacidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_ketoacidosis

    β-hydroxybutyrate (the conjugate base of β-hydroxybutyric acid, drawn above) despite chemically containing a carboxylate group instead of a ketone, is the principal "ketone body" in diabetic ketoacidosis. DKA is common in type 1 diabetes as this form of diabetes is associated with an absolute lack of insulin production by the islets of ...

  3. Ketoacidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketoacidosis

    [1] Prolonged heavy alcohol use is a risk of ketoacidosis, especially in people with poor nutrition or a concurrent illness. [2] Pregnant women have high levels of hormones including glucagon and human placental lactogen that increase circulating free fatty acids which increases ketone production. [6]

  4. Hypermagnesemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermagnesemia

    [1] [3] It is severe if levels are greater than 2.9 mmol/L (7 mg/dL). [5] Specific electrocardiogram (ECG) changes may be present. [1] Treatment involves stopping the magnesium a person is getting. [2] Treatment when levels are very high include calcium chloride, intravenous normal saline with furosemide, and hemodialysis. [1] Hypermagnesemia ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complications_of_diabetes

    Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the life-threatening severe complications of diabetes that demands immediate attention and intervention. [7] It is considered a medical emergency and can affect both patients with T1D (type 1 diabetes) and T2D (type 2 diabetes), but it is more common in T1D. [8]

  6. Ketosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis

    Ketosis is a metabolic state characterized by elevated levels of ketone bodies in the blood or urine. Physiological ketosis is a normal response to low glucose availability. In physiological ketosis, ketones in the blood are elevated above baseline levels, but the body's acid–base homeostasis is maintained.

  7. Magnesium deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_deficiency

    Normal magnesium levels are between 0.6 and 1.1 mmol/L (1.46–2.68 mg/dL) with levels less than 0.6 mmol/L (1.46 mg/dL) defining hypomagnesemia. [1] Specific electrocardiogram (ECG) changes may be seen. [1] Treatment is with magnesium either by mouth or intravenously. [2] For those with severe symptoms, intravenous magnesium sulfate may be ...

    It is the first of its kind to directly measure levels of calcium and magnesium in blood — a much more reliable method of assessing nutrient status. This, the authors hope, might provide clearer ...

  9. Type 1 diabetes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_1_diabetes

    People with type 1 diabetes experience diabetic ketoacidosis 1–5 times per 100 person-years, the majority of which result in hospitalization. [94] 13–19% of type 1 diabetes-related deaths are caused by ketoacidosis, [91] making ketoacidosis the leading cause of death in people with type 1 diabetes less than 58 years old. [94]
