Kyle Boulard, whose breath had fruity acetone odor.
Adequate information:
The results of the tests are as follows:
| General | Blood | Urine |
| Blood pressure: 95/98 | pH: 7.1 | pH: 4.3 |
| HR (heart rate): 110 | Glucose: 345 mg/dl (milligram per deciliter) | Glucose: strongly positive |
| Ketone bodies: strongly positive; odor: fruity acetone |
Also, ketone bodies and glucose in urine are generally absent.

John Smith joined a Triathlon for a cause. The triathlon consisted of a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride and a 10 km run. He was so focused on winning the race. With 6 km left in the run, he felt very weak and light-headed and eventuallly collapsed. He was breathing so fast and was profusely sweating. The Emergency Medical Service on standby rushed to give him medical aid.
a.) Discuss the role of electrolytes in this case.
b.) What imbalances (Hypernatremia vs. Hyponatremia; Hyperkalemia vs. Hypokalemia) led to his condition? Justify.
