A 16-year-old male diabetic, who had been on insulin for five years, started to vomit
two days before admission. …precipitated by an infection of the upper respiratory tract.
He was drowsy but rational; …marked dehydration and air hunger. B.P. 120/70, blood
sugar 546 mg./lO0 ml., HCO3 9.5 mEq/l. He had heavy glycosuria and ketonuria.
Treatment consisted of 250 units of insulin and 4.5 litres of the hypotonic saline
lactate, followed by 1.5 litres of the potassium-containing solution. During the first
seven hours he passed nearly 2 litres of urine. He remained drowsy but otherwise
seemed better.
Eight hours after admission he suddenly became unconscious and was found to have
large unequal pupils, hypotonic limbs, and bilateral extensor plantar responses. At this
time his blood sugar was 200 mg./ 100 ml., Na 150 mEq/l, K 3.9 mEq/l. Cl 110 mEq/l,
HCO3 22 mEq/1, and urea 46 mg./100 ml. Soon after, a very marked increase in the
urinary output was noted. This was found to be at the rate of 16 ml./min., with a
specific gravity of 1003. The intense polyuria responded to "pitressin ". He did not
regain consciousness; his respiration failed and the B.P. fell. He survived a further six
days in a respirator, having continuous noradrenaline infusion. At necropsy the brain
showed widespread necrosis of the hypothalamus and mid-brain.

Effective serum osmolarity is a good estimate of
factors influencing water shift between the serum and
cerebral cells in patients with DKA
mMol/L = (2 × Na+ mEq/L) + glucose mg%/18 + (2 × K+ mEq/L).
mMol/L = (2 × Na+ mEq/L) + glucose mg%/18.
mMol/L = (2 × Na+ mEq/L).
The exclusion of potassium from some of the equations is
justified by the fact that changes of serum potassium level in
humans occur within a very narrow range, which precludes
significant changes of serum osmolarity due to changes in
serum potassium concentration.
The exclusion of urea is based on the notion that urea moves
freely across cellular membranes of almost all organs, and for
this reason, does not have a significant contribution to water
movement across biological membranes.

TSO mMol/L = (2 × Na ) + glucose mg%/18 + BUN/2.8.
TSO mMol/L = (2 × Na) + glucose /18 + (2 × K) + BUN /2.8.
TSO mMol/L = (1.84 × Na) + glucose/18 + (1.84 × K) + BUN /2.8 +
(1.15 x Ca) + (1.17 x Mg)
Freezing point is a gold standard method to measure TSO
Measured SO – calculated TSO = osmolar gap
Normal osmolar gap is around 10.
The major unmeasured osmoles in DKA are: lactic acid, acetocetic
acid, beta-hydroxybutyric acid, acetone
Serum level of ketone bodies in patients with DKA can be well over
20 mMol/L
Osmolar gap in patients DKA is usually 30-40 mMol/L
The presence of an osmotic gradient between the serum and brain
caused by ketone bodies, lactic acid and urea makes the application
of the concept of ESO or calculated TSO in patients with DKA
misleading.
The use of either ESO, or calculated TSO as a clinical aid in
decision making in treating DKA is better to be avoided.
Only measured SO can provide accurate information about the
changes in osmotic forces taking place during treatment of DKA.
Measured serum sodium in patients with DKA should
be converted to adjusted serum sodium using a
correction factor.
Patients with DKA often have hyponatremia
Decrease in measured serum sodium concentration due to
high serum glucose concentration causing water shift from
intracellular to extracellular space
Adjusted Na = serum Na x CF x (serum glucose – 100) / 100
where CF is:
1.35 - calculated using mathematical model
1.6 - calculated using mathematical model (1973)
2.4 - measured in healthy volunteers (1999)
1.5 - measured in patients undergoing hemodialysis (2010)
Question: Which correction factor is more accurate?
A. 1.35 - calculated
B . 1.6 - calculated
C. 2.4 - measured
D. 1.5 - measured
Serum and urinary Na concentration changes in patients
with DKA
2 days duration
Conclusion: hyponatremia in DKA was caused by sodium
loss with urine
Measured CF value is more accurate in healthy volunteers
with acutely induced hyperglycemia of brief duration when
applied to healthy volunteers or when it is measured in
patients with renal failure on dialysis and applied to the
patients with renal failure
Nether factor can be accurate in patient with hyperglycemia
of long duration (DKA) and healthy kidneys.
Answer:
A. 1.35 - calculated
B . 1.6 - calculated
C. 2.4 - measured
D. 1.5 - measured
E. None of the above
Dilutional hyponatremia is physiologically improbable in the
settings of DKA. The practice of calculating adjusted serum Na
according to the degree of hyperglycemia is based on inappropriate
data.
Osmotic tension of serum is represented by measured (actual) rather
than adjusted (calculated) Na concentration.
If calculating serum Na is not utilized in clinical decision making, it
becomes a useless exercise.
Using adjusted serum Na in clinical decision making may interfere
with selecting crystalloid solutions with higher Na content, that
would allow serum Na to increase in a controlled manner during
treatment of DKA.
Do not correct hyponatremia if the serum sodium
value adjusted for the degree of hyperglycemia is
within normal range

A woman, aged 73 admitted with DKA. Drowsy but rational,
dehydrated, BP 160/70, HR 108, serum glucose 605. She received
100 u of insulin IV, then another 100 u. Following administration
of the second dose of insulin she developed urticaria. Subsequent
doses of insulin were given IM. Repeat serum glucose was 812,
and insulin dose was increased to 300 u, the third glucose level was
856 followed by 500 u of insulin. She received two more doses of
insulin 1000 u each for a total dose of 3000 u. Assuming the time
period was 24 hours, this amount of insulin was = 1.7 u/kg/hr
She survived to discharge

Randomized prospective study of low-dose insulin (0.1U/kg/h) vs. high-dose (1.0 U/kg/h) given by continuousintravenous infusion.
Plasma glucose decrease faster in the high-dose insulin group.
Hypoglycemia during the first 12 h of therapy - fewer in the low dose group.
The decrement of ketone bodies, cortisol, and glucagon was similar in both groups.
The rate of correction of acidosis was similar in both groups
Hypokalemia – fewer in the low dose group.

What is considered to be low dose of insulin (0.1 U/kg/h) may not
be the lowest effective dose. This dose was designated as low by
default, since it was the lowest dose tested in a prospective
randomized trial (class I evidence).
“Ultra low” dose of insulin may often be as effective as the “low”
dose, but it has not been evaluated in a large prospective
randomized trial.
It would be prudent to use 0.05 U/kg/h as a starting dose and to
titrate it as needed for resolution of ketoacidosis with
simultaneous slow decline of serum glucose level.
