Summary Introduction
Case summary:
A 32-year-old man Kyle Boulard was reported to behave erratically, staggered while walking, and disoriented. His breath had a fruity acetone smell.
Characters in the case:
Kyle Boulard, whose breath had fruity acetone odor.
Adequate information:
The results of the tests are as follows:
General | Blood | Urine |
Blood pressure: 95/98 | pH: 7.1 | pH: 4.3 |
HR (heart rate): 110 | Glucose: 345 mg/dl (milligram per deciliter) | Glucose: strongly positive |
Ketone bodies: strongly positive; odor: fruity acetone |
Also, ketone bodies and glucose in urine are generally absent.
To determine:

Patient A is 65 years old female. She has been diagnosed with diabetes Type II. Recently she experienced a gastrointestinal illness with nausea and vomiting. Lab data have been obtained the following day after her illness: Body weight 85 kg; Blood pressure 140/90 mmHg; Blood pH – 7.48; PCO2 – 44 mm Hg; Plasma HCO3 ion -32 mEq/L; Urine pH – 7.5. What is acid-base disorder of this patient. What was a main cause of this?
The illness continues and after 2 days the following laboratory data have been obtained: Body weight 83 kg; Blood pressure 120/70 mmHg; Blood pH – 7.50; PCO2 – 48 mm Hg; Plasma HCO3 ion -36 mEq/L; Urine pH – 6.0. Has acid-base disbalance been changed? If yes, what is the explanation for this acid-base disbalance? Is there any compensation?
