A CASE OF EUGLYCEMIC PANCREATIC KETOACIDOSIS- A CASE REPORT

VIJITH PILLAI

Abstract


Ketosis or ketoacidosis secondary to acute               pancreatitis is a distinct, though previously unrecognised syndrome, induced and maintained by extremely high levels of pancreatic lipase in the circulation. Pancreatic lipase is responsible in induction of ketonaemia by promoting                  ketogenesis via peripheral adipose tissue breakdown.               Ketonaemia is well documented as a consequence of                prolonged starvation, acute alcoholism, and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Euglycemic ketoacidosis due to pancreatitis is a very rare entity and Only very few cases have been            reported world wide17. Hence we report this rare entity.
