OSCE DISCUSSION OSCE CASE LINK:  https://127soumyadeepbiswas.blogspot.com/2023/12/a-65-year-old-male-with-dka-with.html OSCE question and answers 1. What is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) ? Ans. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute, major, life-threatening complication of diabetes characterized by hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, and ketonuria. It occurs when absolute or relative insulin deficiency inhibits the ability of glucose to enter cells for utilization as metabolic fuel, the result being that the liver rapidly breaks down fat into ketones to employ as a fuel source. The overproduction of ketones ensues, causing them to accumulate in the blood and urine and turn the blood acidic. DKA occurs mainly in patients with type 1 diabetes, but it is not uncommon in some patients with type 2 diabetes. Laboratory studies for DKA include glucose blood tests, serum electrolyte determinations, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) evaluation, and arterial blood gas (ABG) measurements. Treatment includes ...
