Fluid treatment for severe diabetic ketoacidosis
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests two types of fluids (saline or Ringer's lactate) to see which works better for people with severe diabetic ketoacidosis. Results could help doctors choose the best fluid replacement in this emergency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have severe diabetic ketoacidosis (high blood sugar, ketones, and acidic blood)
- You have received less than 1 liter of fluids so far for this episode
- You are admitted to the emergency department or intensive care unit

This trial tests if giving sodium bicarbonate helps critically ill patients who have both metabolic acidosis (too much acid in the blood) and acute kidney injury (sudden kidney trouble). It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes.
This trial compares two common IV fluids (normal saline and Ringer's lactate) to see which one works better for initial hydration in people with sepsis in the emergency department. It aims to find the safest and most effective way to give fluids early in sepsis treatment.
This trial studies how different fluids given to treat early sepsis affect the body's fluid balance. Participating may help researchers find better ways to treat sepsis-related low blood pressure and organ failure.
This trial tests a solution called REAMBERIN to help rehydrate people with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). If you are 18–75 and have DKA with very high blood sugar and acidic blood, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether giving a special ketone drink to patients in the ICU can reduce or treat delirium (confusion). If you or a loved one is in the ICU, this treatment might help clear up confusion faster.
This trial tests if an IV medicine called arginine hydrochloride can help manage diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in people with type 2 diabetes. It's for those who come to the ER with very high blood sugar and ketones.
