Summary
Severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a potentially serious complication of diabetes
mellitus. The treatment regimen is based on insulin and rehydration. The choice of
rehydration solution is a question that remains open. We sought to compare the effect of
sodium chloride 0.9% (SC) versus ringer lactate (RL) in the resolution of severe DKA as well
as on the variation of electrolytes.
