Aim to decrease the serum glucose by at least 50-70 mg/dL in the first hour, followed by a steady decline until the level is ≤200 mg/dL. 5 Once the glucose level has dropped below 200 mg, the goal is ...

Hyperkalemia is a common electrolyte disorder, especially among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus, or heart failure. 1–3 Hyperkalemia represents one of the most important ...

In severe acidosis, total body sodium is markedly depleted and when sodium loss exceeds water loss, plasma sodium may also be low. Serum sodium concentration is an unreliable measure of the degree of ...

Lactic acidosis occurs when the body produces too much lactic acid and cannot metabolize it quickly enough. The condition can be a medical emergency. The onset of lactic acidosis might be rapid and ...

Despite these losses, the increased delivery of potassium to the ECF from the intracellular space usually causes the serum concentration of potassium to be normal and, in some cases, high. This ...
