Step 1 / 1 · DKA diagnosis

Does it meet the DKA triad?

💡 1) Hyperglycemia (glucose >11.1 mmol/L; SGLT2i use / pregnancy can give euglycemic DKA) 2) Ketosis (β-hydroxybutyrate ≥3.0 mmol/L or marked ketonuria) 3) Metabolic acidosis (pH <7.3 and/or HCO3 <18 mmol/L). Anion gap is not a primary diagnostic criterion; use it when ketones are unavailable.
