Ketoacidosis - Answer Biochemistry:Occurs in uncontrolled Type I diabetes
mellitus. In the absence of insulin, fats are released and cannot absorb glucose.
The liver overproduces ketone bodies as a result. These ketone bodies are acidic,
which results in severe metabolic acidosis.
Symptoms: Blood levels of ketone bodies increase. High acetone levels lead to
fruity odor on the breath. Excretion of glucose and ketone bodies in the urine
results in dehydration fo the body. Acidic ketone bodies lower blood pH, which
results in coma and death if untreated.
