Article Synopsis
- Dehydration and acidosis significantly raise the likelihood of urinary stone formation, particularly illustrated through three pediatric cases of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
- In one case, a 12-year-old boy with new-onset type 1 diabetes and DKA developed abdominal pain, leading to the discovery of urinary stones through urinalysis and CT scans, revealing high red blood cell counts and calcium oxalate crystals.
- The findings suggest a strong link between DKA and urinary stone formation, prompting the need for physicians to consider this risk in DKA patients, even in the absence of other metabolic disorders.
