Abstract

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most common complication seen in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. DKA is most commonly seen with patients of type 1 diabetes. Depletion of Insulin leads to high blood sugars which in turn leads osmotic diuresis, production of ketone bodies i.e, βhydroxybutyric acid and acetoacetic acid, dysregulation of sodium hydrogen exchange mechanism[2]. As a consequence to the above stated mechanisms, cerebral edema has been documented as a fatal complication in DKA. Mortality documented due to cerebral edema is 21-25%[4].
