Hyperosmolar non-ketotic diabetes.
Hyperosmolar non-ketotic crises occur chiefly in mild, maturity-onset diabetics, yet present a medical emergency carrying a high mortality. This may in part be due to a lack of awareness of the clinical presentation, and of the principles of treatment. Five cases are described, in all of which excessive consumption of Lucozade, a proprietary 'glucose' drink, played an important part in the deve...

Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state is a life-threatening emergency manifested by marked elevation of blood glucose and hyperosmolarity with little or no ketosis. Although there are multiple precipitating causes, underlying infections are the most common. Other causes include certain medications, nonadherence to therapy, undiagnosed diabetes mellitus, substance abuse, and coexisting disease. In ch...
متن کاملThe red cell osmometer. A useful inaccuracy in measurement of mean corpuscular volume in hyperosmolar states.
The Coulter S Counter gives a value for mean corpuscular volume which does not necessarily reflect red cell size in vivo. This phenomenon may be used in early diagnosis and hence prevention of the 'hyperosmolar syndrome'.
متن کاملCorrelation of plasma copeptin and vasopressin concentrations in hypo-, iso-, and hyperosmolar States.
BACKGROUND Copeptin, the C-terminal moiety of provasopressin, is cosecreted with vasopressin. Copeptin may be a useful parameter to characterize disorders of water homeostasis and can be readily measured in plasma or serum. However, it is unknown to date how circulating copeptin and vasopressin levels correlate at different plasma osmolalites. OBJECTIVE To correlate plasma copeptin with plasm...
