    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Endocrinology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Hyperosmolar nonketotic coma (HNKC) is a severe diabetic complication.
    • It predominantly affects elderly individuals, often with pre-existing renal impairment.

    Observation:

    • HNKC typically presents insidiously.
    • Onset can be triggered by various factors, including illness, medications, or procedures.
    • Neurological symptoms can complicate diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Elderly patients with renal impairment are most susceptible to HNKC.
    • The condition's insidious nature and varied neurological signs can delay diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Early identification and prompt management of HNKC are critical.
    • Effective treatment significantly lowers the high mortality associated with HNKC.
