Thirty-nine episodes of hyperglycemia and disturbance of acid-base equilibrium were classified according to the result of nitroprusside test for serum (or urine) ketones, serum electrolytes, glucose, lactate, β-hydroxybutyrate and arterial blood pH and gas analysis into the following 6groups;(1) diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), (2) mild DKA, (3) DKA with mixed acid-base disturbance, (4) DKA with lactic acidosis, (5) lactic acidosis with mild ketonemia, (6) lactic acidosis. Their clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, insulin and i.v. fluid requirement in the early phase of therapy were surveyed and compared with those reported from Western countries. The fundamental problems of groups (1) to (4) were hyperglycemia and acid-base disturbance. Groups (5) anp (6) were characterised by underlying serious medical illness, accompanied by lactic acidosis and hyperglycemia. All patients in groups (1) to (4) recovered but 7 of 10 patients in groups (5) and (6) died within the first 7days. DKA with or without lactic acidosis and lactic acidosis with or without mild ketonemia appeared as two separate conditions from the standpoint of management and prognosis and were differentiated only by nitroprusside test for serum ketones. DKA with lactic acidosis and DKA without it could not be differentiated by routine blood chemistries and therapy for the two did not differ so that they were thought to be in the same spectrum of metabolic alteration.
