摘要
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a severe complication of diabetes mellitus characterized by hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and ketosis. We present a challenging case of euglycemic DKA secondary to fasting and urinary tract infection with acute renal failure in a 50 -year -old woman. Despite normal random blood sugar levels, the patient exhibited clinical signs of DKA, leading to further investigation. High anion gap metabolic acidosis with hyperkalemia and abnormal renal function tests were identified. After hemodialysis, serum ketones were found to be highly positive, confirming the diagnosis. Prompt management led to a complete clinical and laboratory resolution. This case underscores the importance of considering DKA in patients with suggestive symptoms, even with normal blood sugar levels.
