Abstract

Varón de 62 años con diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM-1) en tratamiento con insulina soluble huma-na de acción rápida y fumador de 20-30 cigarrillos/día que acudió al Servicio de Urgencias por alteración del estado general. Refiere niveles elevados de glucemia, a pesar de haber disminui-do la ingesta de alimentos, que no consigue controlar con su pauta habitual de insulina. Aso-cia un cuadro de deposiciones diarreicas en los últimos días, además de polidipsia. Comenta también cuadro de dolor abdominal tipo cólico, difuso, de tiempo indeterminado de evolución, que no relaciona con el cuadro actual. Con una exploración prácticamente anodina a su llegada y unas alteraciones analíticas que podrían ser secundarias a su descompensación diabética, fueron las pruebas de imagen quienes nos dieron el diagnóstico final. Palabras Clave. Cetoacidosis Diabética. Colecistitis Aguda. Diabetes Mellitus. ABSTRACT Ketoacidosis associated with acute cholecystitis A 62 year old male with type 1 Diabetes mellitus (DM-1) being treated with short acting soluble human insulin, a smoker of 20-30 cigarettes per day, and who goes to the emergency department because of a deterioration in his general state of health. He has high blood sugar levels, despite having reduced intake of food which he is unable to control with his normal dosage of insulin. There is an associated clinical picture of loose stools over the last few days, as well as polydipsia. He also mentions abdominal cramps whose time of onset is vague, and which he does not relate to the current clinical picture. With a practically anodyne examination on his arrival and test abnormalities which could have been side effects of his diabetic imbalance, it was the imaging tests which provided the final diagnosis.
