What is diabetic acidosis (ketoacidosis)? Diabetic acidosis is a life-threatening condition which can occur in patients with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes. It leads to high blood glucose levels and the presence of ketones in the urine, as well as certain acids in the blood. Diabetic acidosis requires immediate hospitalisation for treatment with fluid and insulin. Any infection present may require antibiotic treatment. Diabetic acidosis can usually…

the creatinine was at the patient’s average again. Diagnosis and discussion DKA usually is diagnosed by a laboratory glucose that is greater than 11 mmol/L, a blood gas with a pH below 7.3, bicarbonate lower than 20 mmol/L and a positive result for ketones in the urine. In figure 1 it shows the patient’s blood glucose is 55.3 mol/L, the pH is…

performed to assess the purity of the recrystallized product. (g) Melting point determination is performed in order to assess the purity of the recrystallized product. Benzanilide, C13H11NO has a carbonyl group so placed as to make the compound a ketone along with a secondary amine group in between two aromatic benzene rings. This chemical composition give the molecule certain characteristics of both the non-polar and polar compounds. Thiourea, a thioketone, SC(NH2)2, has a sulfur…

Some are yo-yo diets where you put the weight back on when you stop the diet, some severely restrict caloric intake, and still others proclaim the superiority of one particular food item or group.

Below is a list of some of the…

advantages of being on the keto diet is that it helps suppress your appetite. Foods that are high in fat and protein are filling. They also take longer to digest. On the other hand, foods that are high in carbohydrates can stimulate appetite. The ketones develop when the body begins to break down fat instead of sugar. This is a process known as ketosis. Studies have shown that ketosis can help suppress ghrelin. When people have higher levels of ghrelin, they eat more and gain more weight. They…

was possible to be an alcohol. Alcohol released a lot of the soot during combustion. It does not react with bromine due to absent of carbon-carbon double bond. Primary and secondary alcohol can react with potassium permanganate to form aldehyde or ketone but not tertiary as it does not have hydrogen that attached to carbon. When the primary or secondary alcohol reacted, the solution is decolourised and brown precipitate (manganese dioxide) was…

disorder or their body is over producing protein for some other reason. According to the data there was a normal glucose level in all students which is a good news because the presence of glucose in the urine indicates diabetes. When it comes to ketones all the participants had a negative result and its presence usually indicates that the body is using fat as a major source of energy. The presence of red blood cells and white blood cells in the urine is usually a sign of infection, or trauma…

Diabetes Mellitus in general is a chronic disease characterized by high glucose levels in the blood (hyperglycemia). There are at least three different types of diabetes mellitus, however; I would be talking about type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can also be known as late-onset diabetes, or non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) which is a disease caused by the production of too little or no insulin by the pancreas. Other causes include body cells having too few insulin receptors,…

ANSWER 1 IDDM: Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease, which starts to develop in childhood it was known as juvenile onset as well. It is a progressive destruction of autoimmune pancreatic beta cells depending upon the individuals. Genetically individuals develop islets of autoantibodies from months to years before diagnosing type 1 diabetes. Glucose level is increased as the body starts to produce low level of insulin and glucose is eliminated in the form of urine. Weight loss, frequent…
