1. ketoacidosis

   Ketoacidosis is a serious metabolic complication where the body produces excess blood acids, or ketones. This condition occurs when the body cannot produce sufficient insulin and starts to break down fat as fuel, resulting in a buildup of acids in the bloodstream. It can lead to symptoms such as nausea or vomiting, abdominal pain, rapid breathing, confusion, and even coma in severe cases. Ketoacidosis is commonly associated with type 1 diabetes, but it can also occur in people with type 2 diabetes or those on low carbohydrate diets.

1. Ketoacidosis

   Ketoacidosis is a metabolic state associated with high concentrations of ketone bodies, formed by the breakdown of fatty acids and the deamination of amino acids. The two common ketones produced in humans are acetoacetic acid and β-hydroxybutyrate. Ketoacidosis is a pathological metabolic state marked by extreme and uncontrolled ketosis. In ketoacidosis, the body fails to adequately regulate ketone production causing such a severe accumulation of keto acids that the pH of the blood is substantially decreased. In extreme cases ketoacidosis can be fatal. Ketoacidosis is most common in untreated type 1 diabetes mellitus, when the liver breaks down fat and proteins in response to a perceived need for respiratory substrate. Prolonged alcoholism may lead to alcoholic ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis can be smelled on a person's breath. This is due to acetone, a direct byproduct of the spontaneous decomposition of acetoacetic acid. It is often described as smelling like fruit or nail polish remover. Ketosis may also smell, but the odor is usually more subtle due to lower concentrations of acetone.
