Introduction: In a patient admitted to the emergency service with complaints of nausea, vomiting, polydipsia, and polyuria and with findings of hyperglycemia, ketonemia, and acidosis, the first diagnosis to be considered is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA is more common among young patients, of whom 50% to 85% are adults. Uremia, lactic acidosis, and intoxication with drugs and substances, such as salicylates, methanol, paraldehyde, and ethylene glycol, may present clinically as diabetic ketoacidosis.
