Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Internal Medicine
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Alcoholic ketoacidosis (AKA) is an acute metabolic complication seen in individuals with a history of alcohol abuse.
  • It is often precipitated by factors like gastritis, poor nutritional intake, and repeated vomiting, leading to dehydration.

Observation:

  • The case involves a patient presenting with severe alcoholic ketoacidosis.
  • Clinical presentation is characterized by dehydration and metabolic acidosis with minimal or absent hyperglycemia and glucosuria.

Findings:

  • Review of the literature on alcoholic ketoacidosis, highlighting its pathophysiology and clinical features.
  • Analysis of a severe case to illustrate the diagnostic and management challenges of AKA.

Implications:
