This serious complication arises primarily in diabetics when low insulin levels lead to high blood sugar and acid buildup in the blood. It needs emergency attention due to its rapid progression risk.
- Main Causes and Symptoms: Infection or missed insulin doses cause excessive thirst, frequent urination, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, fruity-smelling breath and deep breathing patterns.
- Diagnosing DKA: Blood tests revealing elevated blood glucose levels and ketones in urine or blood confirm diagnosis alongside acid-base balance measures.

Adequate diabetes control outside emergencies prevents these episodes from occurring frequently.
HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS
A hypertensive crisis is a severe increase in blood pressure that can rapidly lead to organ damage if untreated. This urgent condition demands prompt recognition and management.

- Diagnosis: Primarily clinical evaluation with history of recent upper respiratory illness; sometimes a chest X-ray is done to rule out pneumonia.
- Treatment Options: Rest, hydration, use of cough suppressants or expectorants; antibiotics are generally not recommended unless bacterial infection is suspected.
- Management: Avoid smoking and irritants; inhalers may be prescribed if wheezing occurs.
