This article details the pathophysiology and management of hyperglycaemic emergencies in diabetes, specifically diabetic ketoacidosis and hypernatremic, non-ketotic coma. It follows Part 1 on hypoglycaemia.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Diabetology

Background:

  • Diabetic emergencies represent critical complications of diabetes mellitus.
  • Hyperglycaemic crises require prompt recognition and management to prevent severe morbidity and mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the pathophysiology of hyperglycaemic diabetic emergencies.
  • To outline current clinical management strategies for diabetic ketoacidosis and hypernatremic, non-ketotic coma.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on diabetic emergencies.
  • Synthesis of pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical guidelines.

Main Results:

  • Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) involves hyperglycemia, ketosis, and metabolic acidosis.

  • Hypernatremic, non-ketotic coma (HNKNC) is a rarer but severe hyperglycaemic emergency characterized by profound dehydration and hypernatremia.

    • Conclusions:

    • Effective management of DKA and HNKNC requires a multidisciplinary approach.
    • Understanding the distinct pathophysiological pathways is crucial for targeted therapeutic interventions in hyperglycaemic crises.
