Diagnostic criteria for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA):
Diagnosis requires all three of the following:
- Hyperglycemia: Blood glucose ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or a known history of diabetes.
- Ketosis: Blood β-hydroxybutyrate ≥3.0 mmol/L or urine ketones ≥2+ if blood ketone testing is unavailable.
- Metabolic acidosis: Arterial or venous pH <7.3 or serum bicarbonate <18 mmol/L.
Blood β-hydroxybutyrate is preferred over urine ketones because it is more accurate for diagnosing and monitoring DKA.
