Plasma and urinary concentrations of different amino acids were investigated during diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and 12, 24, 72 hours after initiation of therapy. In DKA, plasma concentration of glutamic acid, aspartic acid, valine, leucine and isoleucine significantly increased while that of asparagine and glutamine decreased compared to levels in well-controlled diabetic patients. The urinary excretion of branched-chain amino acids, histidine, serine and threonine was elevated while those of glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine and taurine were reduced. Among the different amino acids, histidine excretion had the highest variability. A strong correlation was found between the urinary excretion of several amino acids and that of the beta-2-microglobulin characterizing tubular dysfunction. Changes in the excretion of different amino acids reflect the altered metabolic state and renal function due to DKA.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
