Prof. Woodruff. I have a question. What is the osmolality for patients with DKA. Is it also concentrated due to high level of glucose molecules wandering around the blood stream?

It can vary but usually these patients are dehydrated because glucose is leeching fluid from cell and they are peeing it out (body thinks they have too much fluid)- so their serum osmolality is high because they are in a way self diuresing because of the high sugar levels in the blood

@@mrs.woodruff Thanks so much, Prof. I have the final next week, and it's gonna be the last test ever in my nursing school life, so I'm watching your videos right now to reinforce my knowledge. Just want to let you now my classmates and I love your lecture a lot. So I hope you won't give up on what you are doing for nursing generations. I want to be an ICU nurse, so I will still definitely watch your videos over and over to maintain my knowledge base.

@@JOSEPH-ol5td that’s great to hear. I am always grateful to help and be here as I can. I don’t know where my future is but I’m sure some part will always have to do with education. Let me know how it goes.
Mrs. Woodruff
