most useful test in diagnosing type 1 diabetes

Na, K, Cl, HCO3

measures the maximum and minimum forces from the heart on blood vessels

Present in diabetic ketoacidosis

a. Filter blood to remove waste products and help maintain substances necessary to the blood. b. Help control blood pressure c. Synthesize vitamin D

Cells including RBC's and WBC's Bacteria Chemicals including glucose pH concentration

Urine dipstick Microscopic exam

Sodium. Dehydration, heart or kidney abnormalities. Potassium. Vomiting or diarrhea. Increased in kidney failure. Chloride. Abnormal changes occur with changes in sodium level. Bicarbonate. Changes with problems in acid/base balance.

to detect changes in the patient's acid-base balance in the blood, can detect respiratory conditions or disease, kidney function (metabolic), and to monitor oxygen therapy

Arterial, contains oxygenated blood

Heart disease, kidney disease, stroke

Insulin need glucose to enter cells, when cells don't receive energy from carbohydrate breakdown, body breaks down fat as a secondary energy source, releasing ketone bodies, making blood acidic

frequent urination and thirst, weight loss, increased appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, muscle stiffness, mental stupor, hyperventilation, fruity breath

Destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas by the body's own immune system

Excessive thirst, frequent urination, weight loss

Cells cannot get glucose, glucose levels rise in the bloodstream because it is not transported into the cells. The kidneys flush extra water out, trying to get rid of the excess glucose. This causes dehydration, excessive urination, and excessive thirst. the body breaks down fat stores for energy and weight loss occurs.

Increased glucose levels in the blood and urine. Ketone bodies are present in the urine in cases of diabetic ketoacidosis.
