Title: Diabetic ketoacidosis: Heralding type 1 diabetes in children. Author: Alois CI, Rizzolo D. Journal: JAAPA; 2017 Jul; 30(7):20-23. PubMed ID: 28604407. Abstract: Despite advances in diabetes management, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Up to one-third of children may present with DKA as the original presentation of type 1 diabetes. These children develop clinical manifestations of DKA including hyperglycemia, acidosis, and ketosis. Clinicians must be able to identify those patients at risk, recognize common signs and symptoms, and start prompt management.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
