Developing diabetic ketoalkalosis in a patient with Cushing disease

چکیده
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most common metabolic complications of diabetes mellitus. In some situations, other acid-base disorders coexist with DKA including metabolic alkalosis. There is several underlying etiology for the DKA with metabolic alkalosis such as extracellular volume loss secondary to vomiting or diuretics, alkali ingestion, and corticosteroid excess. We report herein the first case of DKA with metabolic alkalosis secondary to autopsyconfirmed Cushing disease. The case report elucidates clinically important lessons through its management as well as a future guide for scientific investigation on this combined acid-base disorder.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is characterized by excessive production of organic acids leading to a low blood pH. Rarely, because of other complicating factors blood pH may be in the alkalemic range and the term diabetic ketoalkalosis has been coined to describe this condition. So far, less than 30 such cases have been reported in the literature. We report a 34-year-old woman who received methyl...

A diabetic patient is described who presented with the bizarre biochemical association of hyperglycaemia, ketosis and severe alkalosis. Investigation revealed hypercortisolaemia due to ectopic adrenocorticotrophic hormone secretion from an oat cell carcinoma of the bronchus and post-mortem studies demonstrated clinically unsuspected resolving pancreatitis. a possible mechanism for the metabolic...
