糖尿病に於けるKetosisに就て

抄録

We determined acetone-bodies in urine of 29 diabetics before and after insulin therapy, and results are as follows:
1) Acetone-bodies excretion in a day is found to be increased in all cases.
2) Ketosis is not closely related to the severity of symptoms, and there seems to be certain cases which ketosis is only serious in spite of slight symptoms. We think that such kind of diabetes may be called ketosis type.
3) In true diabetes and pluriglandular diabetes, ketosis ranges from low grade to high glade, on the other 'hand in extrapancreatic diabetes, ketosis is low grade in general.
4) In most cases excluding ketosis type, ketosis is decreased by insulin therapy.
5) Ketosis in diabetic coma in Japan is not so severe as that in Europe. From this fact, we may think that ketosis is not the only cause of diabetic coma.
