Te Pathophysiology of Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State
Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS) is a krital metabolic emergency that develops fexn relative insulin deficiency combine with elevate contro- regulatory atlans. Unlike diabetik ketoacidsis (DKA), HHS progresses over days to weeks, alluing profend dehydration and hyperosmolality to cause electant neurological present.
