diabetic ketosis (DK) and Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)

Today , I came to knwo the difference between between DK and DKA.


In DK you will have hyperglycaemia and ketonuira. In DKA apart from hyperglycemia and ketonuria, on blood gas analysis, you will have base excess of -10 or more.


If untreated DK will pead to DKA.
