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 Phase 3 trial tests whether a balanced electrolyte fluid (Plasma-Lyte 148) works better than plain saline for adults with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). It may help by improving how quickly and safely your body’s acid/base levels recover during emergency treatment.
This trial tests if not eating (fasting) during standard treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis can help patients recover faster or better. It compares the usual treatment to the same treatment without food intake.
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 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 two common fluids given in the emergency department for sepsis patients to see which is better. If you have sepsis (a severe infection) and need fluids, you may be able to join.
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.
