===Starvation and Fasting===
== [[Ketoacidosis classification|Classification]] ==
It can also occur with people undergoing hunger strikes, fasting over 3 days, or people starving to death as the body is forced to break down fat for sustenance due to their lack of outside nutrition.


===Diabetic Ketoacidosis===
== [[Ketoacidosis pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]] ==
In [[diabetic]] patients, ketoacidosis is usually accompanied by [[insulin]] deficiency, [[hyperglycemia]], and [[dehydration]]. Since insulin is required to absorb [[glucose]] from the blood, its deficiency results in an energy crisis, fatty acid metabolism, and production of ketone bodies.  Hyperglycemia results in glucose overloading the nephron and spilling into the [[urine]].  Dehydration results following the osmotic movement of water into [[urine]], exacerbating the [[acidosis]].


===Alcoholic Ketoacidosis===
== [[Ketoacidosis causes|Causes]] ==
In [[alcoholic]] ketoacidosis, [[alcohol]] causes dehydration and blocks the first step of [[gluconeogenesis]].  The body is unable to synthesize enough glucose to meet its needs, thus creating an energy crisis resulting in [[fatty acid]] metabolism, and [[ketone body]] formation.
