Perfusion index for diabetic ketoacidosis severity in the emergency department
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at a simple, non-invasive measurement called the perfusion index, which shows how well blood is flowing to your tissues, to help doctors quickly determine how severe diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious diabetes complication) is. The goal is to see if this measurement can guide treatment and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- You (or your legal representative) can provide written consent to participate.
- You do not have a condition like pregnancy, major bleeding, trauma, or severe liver or kidney disease that could affect the results.

This study looks at a simple blood test, the leukocyte glucose index, to see if it can help doctors judge how severe diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious diabetes complication) is. It aims to find a reliable way to predict recovery and guide treatment.
This study looks at whether the level of a protein called ferritin in your blood can help predict how well you recover from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). If you have DKA and are over 18, you may be able to join.
This study looks at signs of acute organ injury in children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It aims to understand how the body reacts to diabetes and its treatment, which could help improve care for kids like yours.
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.
This study compares two types of blood tests (from a vein and an artery) to see if they give similar information about oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in critically ill patients, especially those with diabetes. The results may help doctors choose the best way to monitor patients in the ICU.
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.
