Summary Introduction

To describe: The reason for giving rehydration fluid containing K+ to the patients suffering from acute diabetic ketoacidosis and dehydration.

Introduction: The patient suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) also shows symptoms of metabolic acidosis. The metabolic acidosis is a result of mass imbalance due to high dietary and metabolic input of H+ than its excretion. The leading cause of metabolic acidosis in a diabetic patient is the production of acidic ketone bodies as a result of the excess breakdown of fats or amino acids by the liver.
