All of the following statements about Diabetes Ketoacidosis are true, Except:: (A) DKA is commoner in type I, (B) Anion gap is increased, (C) Serum PH <7.4, (D) Serum bicarbonate in DKA is >15_meq/I
Answer is D. Answer is D (Serum Bicarbonate > 15 meq/I): Serum Bicarbonate levels in Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) are typically less than 15 meq/l. Diabetic Ketoacidosis is an acute complication typically seen in patients with Type -I or Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus characterized by High Anion Gap Metabolic acidosis (PH < 7.4) and Bicarbonate levels < 15meq/I.
