Diabetic ketoacidosis during pregnancy: A case report and review of the literature
Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 53, Issue 1
Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious and an acute, metabolic complication of diabetes. It is characterized by the triad of hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and increased ketone body concentration (ketonuria and ketonemia). DKA is a rare complication of diabetic women during pregnancy and it is risky for both mother and fetus. In spite of all treatment, it may result in fetal loss. However, early diagnosis and aggressive treatment of DKA may reduce the level of high perinatal mortality.
