Symptoms of hunger ketosis?

summary

Starvation ketosis refers to a long period of starvation resulting in a serious lack of energy intake. The human body mobilizes the body fat and protein hydrolysis to provide energy, which increases the acetone substances in the metabolites, resulting in a syndrome similar to diabetic ketosis. Symptoms of hunger ketosis? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of hunger ketosis?

Patients can not eat, resulting in starvation, easy to make glycogen in the liver gradually reduced and exhausted. On the one hand, there is a lack of food carbohydrate supplement, on the other hand, the glucose stored in the liver is exhausted, so the energy needed by the body should be replaced by the fat stored in the body.

However, the increase of fat catabolism is often accompanied by incomplete oxidation, and it is easy to produce too many intermediate products, such as acetone, acetoacetate, b-hydroxybutyric acid, collectively known as ketone body. Under normal circumstances, the ketone body in the blood is very small. If the ketone body in the blood is too high due to long-term starvation, and the ketone body in the urine appears, starvation ketosis will occur. To put it simply: Dieting leads to the increase of ketones in the body, which is beyond the body's metabolic capacity. If it develops step by step, it will lead to blood acidification and metabolic acidosis.

In patients with mild starvation ketosis, only the ketone body in the blood increased and ketone body in the urine appeared. Fasting ketosis is a kind of related syndrome similar to diabetic ketosis. Compared with diabetic ketoacidosis, although both are ketosis, fasting ketosis is characterized by normal or low blood glucose, ketosis, but acidosis is not serious. One hour after meal, the ketone body in urine disappeared. Fasting ketosis and diabetic ketoacidosis have many similarities in the clinical manifestations of moderate and severe patients.
