Caracterización clínica y pruebas de laboratorio en adultos con cetoacidosis diabética

Diabetic ketoacidosis is a complication of type I and type II diabetes characterized by hyperglycaemia, high anion gap metabolic acidosis, and hyperketonaemia due to insufficient insulin and the breakdown of fat and protein to compensate for glucose. This research project was carried out through a bibliographic review to collect scientific information on the clinical characteristics and laboratory tests in adults with diabetic ketoacidosis. It is a descriptive, documentary and non-experimental retrospective study where 65 scientific articles were reviewed, and 50 were selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria. The information collected came from scientific databases such as Redalyc, PubMed, Scielo, Elsevier, Dialnet, Medigraphic, and NCBI. With the analysis and discussion of several authors, it was possible to conclude the proposed investigation and the objectives set. The study showed that adult patients suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis are 30 to 64 years and have a type II diabetes mellitus diagnosis, also ages 9 to 18 years, with type I diabetes mellitus. The most frequent signs and symptoms are polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria, confusion, abdominal pain, dehydration, nausea and vomiting. The tests most used to detect diabetic ketoacidosis are the blood glucose test, serum bicarbonate, pH, and anion gap, which are vital and a guide to establishing a diagnosis that leads to adequate early treatment and prevents significant neurological morbidity from developing and even the death of the patient.
