ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute and potentially fatal metabolic complication characterized by hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and ketonemia. Although more common in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus, it can also occur in type 2, especially under metabolic stress. Late diagnosis of DKA is associated with worse clinical outcomes, including hypovolemic shock, cerebral edema, acute renal failure, and even death. Factors such as barriers to accessing healthcare services, nonspecific clinical manifestations, and low diagnostic suspicion among professionals contribute to delays in identification and treatment, increasing morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVES: To conduct an integrative review to identify the main complications associated with late diagnosis of DKA and discuss strategies for its early recognition.
