Efficacy of quantitative capillary beta-hydroxybutyrate measurement in the diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis: A comparison to quantitative serum ketone measurement by nitroprusside reaction
Objective: To examine the efficacy of using capillary beta-hydroxy butyrate (β-OHB) levels in comparison with serum ketone levels in distinguishing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) from non-DKA states in patients who had severe hyperglycemia and to determine a cut-off level of capillary β-OHB that is bes...
