Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) ICD-10-CM Codes

DKA can be triggered by infections, stress, missed insulin doses, surgery, or certain medications. It can also arise from undiagnosed or untreated diabetes.

Treatment for DKA typically involves hospitalization and may include fluid replacement, insulin therapy, and electrolyte management to balance blood acid levels.

Regularly monitoring blood sugar levels, taking insulin as prescribed, and recognizing early symptoms can help prevent DKA. It's also essential to plan for sick days and seek medical attention if blood sugar levels remain high.
