Pathology of Ketoacidosis in Emergency of Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Alcoholic Ketoacidosis: A Retrospective Study

Figure 2

Body weight in patients with DKA and AKA: (a) body weight; (b) BMI; (c) ChE; (d) total protein; (e) albumin. There was a very close association between AKA and various factors related to low body weight and hypoalbuminemia. DKA patients had statistically higher values of body weight, BMI, and ChE than AKA patients, while total protein and albumin did not differ between the two patient groups. Abbreviations: DKA: diabetic ketoacidosis; AKA: alcoholic ketoacidosis; BMI: body mass index; ChE: cholinesterase.
