Ketone bodies which is maximum in diabetic keto acidosis is:
Ans. C. Acetoacetic acidInitial lab findings in diabetic keto acidosis - acetoacetate - 4.8mmol/lThe metabolic acidosis and anion gap are almost totally accounted for the elevated levels of aceto acetate and hydroxyl butyrate. In DKA the ketone bodies b-hydroxy butyrate is synthesized at three-fold greater rate than acetoacetate.
