Additional Info
AKA NKHS
- This entity, is sometimes called Non-ketotic hyperosmolar coma - but that's confusing since one can get non-ketotic and hyposmolar without coma. .
Diabetic hyperosmolar conditions
- We have the following codes that can be used to code various diabetic hyperosmolar conditions:
- Diabetes mellitus acute complication: Non-ketotic hyperosmolar state
- Diabetes mellitus, in poor control
- Hyperglycemia -- this is an abnormal test result code, not a disorder. Typically for persistent hyperglycemia in a diabetic you'd use Diabetes mellitus, in poor control instead
- Diabetic coma -- this code covers any type of coma due to diabetes: hypoglycemic coma, hyperglycemic coma, or coma in Diabetes mellitus acute complication: Non-ketotic hyperosmolar state
- They can be used in combination as appropriate -- e.g. to distinguish the cause of hyperosmotic diabetic coma, you can combine Diabetic coma with:
- Diabetes mellitus acute complication: Non-ketotic hyperosmolar state -- for non-ketotic hyperosmolar coma
- Diabetes mellitus, in poor control -- for hyperglycemic/hyperosmotic coma NOT due to non-ketotic hyperosmolar state
