The patients were categorized into four subgroups (ketosis, typical DKA, atypical DKA, and DKA + lactic acidosis). Atypical DKA in each analysis was defined by our supplementary criteria if the biochemical data did not meet each set of diagnostic criteria from the aforementioned societies.Results: Blood ketone levels in patients with diabetic ketosis and those with DKA varied widely, 1.05–5.13 mmol/L and 1.02–15.9 mmol/L, respectively. Additionally, there were significant discrepancies between the guidelines in the diagnosis of DKA. Thus, the proportion of patients with atypical DKA ranged from 16.5% to 42.4%. Notably, the in-hospital mortality was comparable between patients with typical and atypical DKA, with a very high mortality in patients with DKA + lactic acidosis (blood lactate >5 mmol/L).Conclusions: Our results showed that considering variable presentations of DKA, blood ketone data need to be interpreted cautiously along with other biochemical data and suggested that a new system is required to better characterize DKA.Keywords: Diabetic ketoacidosis, ketone bodies, diagnosis, lactic acidosis, acid base imbalanceLee KPark IBYu SHKim SKKim SHSeo DHHong SJeon JYKim DJKim SWChoi CSLee DHDove Medical PressarticleDiabetic ketoacidosisketone bodiesdiagnosislactic acidosisacid base imbalanceSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 12, Pp 1161-1171 (2019)
