Abstract
Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Syndrome with Rhabdomyolysis in a Patient with Newly-Onset Diabetes: One Case Report and Literature Review
Highlights
Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS) is one of the most severe acute complications of diabetes
HHNS is characterized by severe hyperglycemia (>33mmol/l or 600mg/dl) with marked serum hyperosmolarity (>320mmol/kg) and without evidence of significant ketosis [4]
It is worth noting that insulin is still present in these patients, probably explained by the residual insulin secretory capacity retained by diabetes
Summary
Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS) is one of the most severe acute complications of diabetes. HHNS accompanied with rhabdomyolysis in diabetic patients was reported 20 years ago [3]. We report one patient newly diagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus and complicated with HHNS and rhabdomyolysis.
