AB Diabetic  ketoacidosis  (DKA)  and  hyperglycemic  hyperosmolar  state  (HHS)  are  acute  complications  of  diabetes  mellitus  (DM).  DKA  is  seen  primarily  in  individuals  with  type  1  DM  and  HHS  in  individuals  with  type  2  DM.  Both  disorders  are  associated  with  absolute  or  relative  insulin  deficiency,  volume  depletion,  and  altered  mental  status.  The  metabolic  similarities  and  differences  in  DKA  and  HHS  are  summarized  in  Table  25-1.
