Abstract

Acute hyperglycemic crisis is a metabolic emergency associated with newly discovered or poorly treated diabetes that can lead to serious complications, death, increased hospitalization rates, and increased costs treatment. This complication includes hyperosmolality and/or diabetic ketoacidosis. Timely intervention with rehydration, electrolytes, treatment of metabolic acidosis, hypoglycemia and resolution of the cause.
Hyperosmotic pressure due to hyperglycemia is a disease characterized by very high blood glucose levels above 600 mg/dl (33 mmol/L), increased serum osmotic pressure above 320 mOsm/kg, and decreased circulating volume. and no acidosis.
