Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome with rhabdomyolysis.

Abstract

In this report we describe a patient who presented with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tachypnea and mental impairment. The patient had elevated serum lipase, troponin-I, creatinine kinase and myoglobin along with severe hyperglycemia (> 2000 mg/dl) and no ketouria. This patient was found to have nonketotic hyperosmolar hyperglycemia with concomitant rhabdomyolysis and myocardial infarction.
