Utilizing point-of-care beta-hydroxybutyrate testing has the potential to reduce comprehensive laboratory evaluations for DKA among hyperglycemic emergency-department patients.
Diabetic ketoacidosis
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a complication of diabetes that occurs when ketones build up in the bloodstream. When your cells don’t get the glucose they need for energy, your body begins to burn fat for energy, which produces ketones. High levels of ketones can poison the body and cause DKA. DKA can lead to diabetic coma or even death. Early diagnosis, monitoring and treatment are usually very effective at preventing serious complications.
