Starvation is a rare cause of ketoacidosis, usually instead causing physiologic ketosis without ketoacidosis. [5] Ketoacidosis from starvation most commonly occurs in the setting of an additional metabolic stressor such as pregnancy, lactation, or acute illness. [5] [6]
Ketosis is a metabolic state characterized by elevated ... starvation, carbohydrate restriction, or prolonged exercise. ... pregnant women and lactating women are ...
Dietary conditions such as starvation, fasting, low-carbohydrate diets, prolonged vomiting, and anorexia including caused by hyperemesis gravidarum. Conditions in which metabolism is increased, such as hyperthyroidism, fever, pregnancy or lactation. In non-diabetic persons, ketonuria may occur during acute illness or severe stress.
Ketoacidosis (e.g., Diabetic, alcoholic, or starvation) [15] Chronic kidney failure [16] 5-oxoprolinemia due to long-term ingestion of high-doses of acetaminophen with glutathione depletion [17] (often seen with sepsis, liver failure, kidney failure, or malnutrition [citation needed]) Intoxication: Salicylates, methanol, ethylene glycol [15]
All of the congenital metabolic defects, congenital forms of hyperinsulinism, and congenital hypopituitarism are likely to have already been diagnosed or are unlikely to start causing new hypoglycemia at this age. Body mass is large enough to make starvation hypoglycemia and idiopathic ketotic hypoglycemia quite uncommon.
A miscarriage, which is also known as an early pregnancy loss, is the unexpected loss of a pregnancy before the 20-week mark, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
The most common causes of high anion gap metabolic acidosis are: ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, kidney failure, and toxic ingestions. [3] Ketoacidosis can occur as a complication of diabetes mellitus (diabetic ketoacidosis), but can occur due to other disorders, such as chronic alcoholism and malnutrition. In these conditions, excessive free ...
