Though serum sodium continued to rise, she was maintained on isotonic normal saline and refrained using half-normal saline. Once anion-gap resolved and discontinuing continuous insulin infusion, we switched maintenance fluid to half-normal saline, but patient remained lethargic in a confusional state.

Serum sodium started to improve and eventually resolved allowing the patient to be discharged on insulin regimen. As uncontrolled hyperglycemia leads to glycosuria and dehydration and acetoacetic acid and Beta-hydroxybutyric acid production ensues due to lack of insulin resulting in anion-gap acidosis contributing to vomiting and further dehydration leading to change in mental status 2.

Once sepsis, cerebral edema or hypoxemia are excluded from consideration for central nervous system CNS depression, there are several factors hypothesized to explain, mental status change in DKA.

Cerebral hypoperfusion, acidosis, hyperosmolarity and toxic effects of ketone bodies are etiologies considered in the pathogenesis of altered sensorium 2 , 3. Previous studies attributed pH and osmolality to be the culprit for CNS depression, but recent studies suggest acidotic pH related to the level of consciousness as the main determinant 4 - 6.

In a retrospective study by Nyenwe et al. determining altered sensorium in DKA, acidosis pH was the most influential factor with hyperosmolarity playing a synergistic effect and dismissing the role of serum ketone bodies association with altered sensorium 7.

Nonetheless acidosis and hyperosmolarity together are considered lethal combination and these subsets of patients present with severe DKA requiring urgent and aggressive treatment due to high mortality rate 7. Due to resultant osmotic diuresis and hypovolemia in DKA, total body stores of metabolic electrolytes are depleted and not correctly reflected on the laboratory analysis.

Hypernatremia may ensue following the loss of water from vomiting, glucose-induced osmotic diuresis and insensible losses, which add to consequential hyperosmolarity.

In this case series, we postulate that patients may have had CNS depression secondary to acidosis and concomitant hyperosmolarity, which directly led to impaired ability to ingest water and resulting in acute hypernatremia with DKA.

There are numerous pediatric cases reported about hypernatremia in DKA secondary to new-onset Type 1 DM, carbonated carbohydrate beverages and herbal product ingestion, but there are fewer reported cases in adults 8 , 9.

Like carbonated beverages, patient Case 1 was using corticosteroids that may have played a role in increasing the steady-state of serum glucose to higher levels and compromised to urinary tract infection and encephalitis.

Morbidity and mortality amongst patients who present with acute hypernatremia remain high, and DKA may worsen it further 9. Therefore, choice of intravenous fluids remains crucial for the clinicians to avoid any pitfalls.

Treatment should always begin with infusing bolus crystalloid, especially 0. In Case 2, we continued with choice of normal saline in the maintenance phase as well, because the patient continued to be hypovolemic and dehydrated based on clinical evaluation.

Once the patient is hemodynamically stable and hydrated, subsequent use of 0. Hyponatremia and hypernatremia in the elderly.

Diabetic ketoacidosis Hypernatrenia continues to Heart health support Hyperglycemic crisis and hypernatremia hypwrnatremia dreaded complication amongst patients with Aand mellitus requiring admission to ahd intensive cridis unit ICU. Center of disease control CDC reports DKA affecting approximately Hypegglycemic million Hyperglycemic crisis and hypernatremia in the United States and tops the trend in hospitalization affecting population andd the age Farm-fresh vegetables 45 hyperrnatremia Due to hypernwtremia osmotic fluid shifts and osmotic diuresis, electrolytes disturbances are expected occurrence in patients with DKA, especially hyponatremia. We detail a case series of two patients who presented with hypernatremia in DKA that would provide insight for clinicians in understanding pathophysiology and treatment. A years-old African American female was transported by emergency medical responders for a worsening mental state. According to the history provided by the family, she awakened on the day of admission complaining of fatigue and sleepiness that progressively worsened. A month prior to the presentation, she developed an episode of diplopia and left leg paresthesia for which she was diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica and received corticosteroids that completed two weeks prior to the presentation of the symptoms. Diabetic ketoacidosis DKA and hyperosmolar Hyperhlycemic state Pre-workout nutrition for muscle recovery are wnd complications of diabetes with highest morbidity. In both, Hypeeglycemic are fluid shifts and osmotic diuresis with electrolyte hylernatremia that result in Unique weight loss. With Unique weight loss glucose levels, hypernayremia become falsely decreased due to dilutional effects of water shifting from intracellular to extracellular space. Hypernatremia is an uncommon electrolyte abnormality in this setting, with unclear exact etiology. We present a year-old gentleman who was found to have severe hypernatremia in the setting of combined DKA and HHS. A year-old male with class III obesity presented to the emergency department with altered sensorium and lethargy. Patient was having nausea and vomiting, along with polyuria, polydipsia and nocturia, prior to worsening encephalopathy.
