It’s possible that this high blood suger could try to pull fluids from cells‚ creating an almost isotonic state in the early stages of DKA. In other words‚ this may not be the best indicator of what is actually going on…it can be variable. Serum acetone would be high due to the production of ketone bodies (from

When our body is not able to regulate temperature all our body functions will fail to work. Even the enzymes need a specific constant temperature to work at their optimum level. At higher temperatures the enzymes will stop working. Dialysis is the artificial process

The Mechanics of Water The Science of Nutrition Perhaps you have heard the phrase “water is life”. When it comes to the human body‚ nothing could be more accurate. The system of fluids in the body that water affects controls everything from nerve impulse to movement; it is even part of the very structure of our bodies. The following will discuss the vital connection between different systems in the body and how they use water to maintain proper health and function. We will discuss what happens

How to Differentiate Between Acidosis and Alkalosis Instructions 1. * 1 First differentiate between the respiratory and metabolic. The respiratory one has to do with breathing in and out (that is ventilation) while the metabolic has to do with processes inside the body. * 2 Know what each one is: Respiratory Respiratory acidosis happens when a person is hypoventilating. In this case their respiration is depressed and so they are retaining carbon dioxide leading to acidosis

Haemodynamic stability is crucial as hypovolaemia can occur quickly because of the obstruction‚ fluid levels can rise quickly due to decreased gut movement causing the bowel to distend and losing its functionality of absorbing water and minerals thereby leading to fluid and electrolyte imbalance (Torrance and Serginson
