Hyperosmolar nonketotic diabetic coma
Abstract
Hyperosmolar nonketotic coma occurs most frequently in the elderly patient with underlying renal impairment. It often has an insidious onset, and may be precipitated by an identifiable illness, medication or procedure. Various neurologic manifestations may occur and obscure the diagnosis. Rapid recognition and appropriate treatment can greatly reduce the high mortality rate.
