Popis: OBJECTIVE Successful management of diabetic ketoacidosis depends on adequate rehydration while avoiding cerebral edema. Our objectives are to 1) measure the degree of dehydration in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and diabetic ketoacidosis based on change in body weight; and 2) investigate the relationships between measured degree of dehydration and clinically assessed degree of dehydration, severity of diabetic ketoacidosis, and routine serum laboratory values. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING University-affiliated tertiary care children's hospital. PATIENTS Sixty-six patients
