An upper GI bleed occurs in 50 to 150 per 100,000 adults per year. [8] A lower GI bleed is estimated to occur in 20 to 30 per 100,000 per year. [2] It results in about 300,000 hospital admissions a year in the United States. [1] Risk of death from a GI bleed is between 5% and 30%. [1] [7] Risk of bleeding is more common in males and increases ...
Studies show that DM1 and DM2 cause a change in balancing of metabolites such as carbohydrates, blood coagulation factors, [citation needed] and lipids, [citation needed] and subsequently bring about complications like microvascular and cardiovascular complications. The role of metalloproteases and inhibitors in diabetic renal disease is ...
The symptoms of an episode of diabetic ketoacidosis usually evolve over a period of about 24 hours.

[13] [14] In severe DKA, breathing becomes rapid and of a deep, gasping character, called "Kussmaul breathing".

[1] This condition can cause a tendency toward prolonged or excessive bleeding (bleeding diathesis), which may occur spontaneously or following an injury or medical and dental procedures.
