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.
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disorders are characterized by tissue hypertrophy due to IgG4-positive cell infiltration and increased serum IgG4 levels. IgG4-related hypophysitis (IgG4-RH) is characterized by pituitary hypertrophy, IgG4-positive cell infiltration, central diabetes insipidus, and increased serum IgG4 levels. IgG4-RH is diagnosed through diagnostic criteria.

Case 1 was a 14-year-old boy, presenting with typical laboratory test values and symptoms consistent with DKA and HHS. His corrected sodium level, 172 mEq/L, might have occurred as a result of consuming 6 L/day of highly carbonated, carbohydrate- and sodium-rich drinks during the week preceding the diagnosis.
