Sanxiang *** New Hunan Client, December 19 (Quan** reporter Li Qi, correspondent Chen Fang, Zhu Wenqing) Diabetic ketoacidosis and acute pancreatitis are both critical and severe diseases in children, and it is very difficult to superimpose the two rescues. Du Juanjuan (pseudonym), who lives in Xiangtan, is only 12 years old this year, and was admitted to Changsha Central Hospital for treatment on December 19 because of these two diseases. After a careful history, the doctor found that the child's condition was closely related to the family history.
The doctor reminds that if you have a family history of diabetes, you must be vigilant about your child's illness.
A 12-year-old girl drank a lot of urine and had both "double diseases".
Half a year ago, Du Juanjuan drank water frequently, and the frequency of nocturia also increased significantly, waking up 3-4 times a day. However, parents did not pay attention to it, thinking that it was just caused by drinking too much water, and controlling the symptoms of drinking water may be improved.
On December 14, Du Juanjuan ate a lot of chicken, duck and fish at a relative's birthday banquet, and drank a lot of sweet drinks. The next night, she suddenly developed symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, impaired consciousness, and drowsiness. The family was immediately sent to the local hospital in Xiangtan for diagnosis and treatment, and was diagnosed with "type 1 diabetes mellitus combined with ketoacidosis and acute pancreatitis".
Due to his critical condition, he was transferred from a local hospital to the Department of Pediatric Intensive Care Medicine of Changsha Central Hospital (Changsha Central Hospital Affiliated to the University of South China).
Why do 12-year-olds get diabetes?And it has developed to such a serious point?Doctors learned that Du Juanjuan's onset was closely related to her family history, and that her grandmother and mother both had diabetes.
According to reports, when Du Juanjuan had symptoms of polydipsia and polyuria in the early days, her family felt that the child was young and still in the development stage, and it was normal to eat too much and urinate a lot, so they did not pay attention to it. I usually didn't take my child to have a health checkup, so I didn't find that the child had hyperlipidemia or diabetes.
It was the lack of relevant knowledge that did not seek medical attention in time when Du Juanjuan had symptoms of polydipsia and polyuria. Coupled with the heavy eating and drinking at this birthday party, it became the "fuse", which made the child combine ketoacidosis and acute pancreatitis on the basis of diabetes, resulting in a sudden aggravation of the disease.
Be wary of passing on a family history of diabetes to your child.
According to Liu Xiaoyan, deputy chief physician of the Department of Pediatric Intensive Care Medicine of Changsha Central Hospital, diabetic ketoacidosis and acute pancreatitis are both critical and severe cases in children, and the two are superimposed, making it very difficult to rescue.
Diabetes mellitus is mainly manifested by polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia and weight loss, as well as high blood sugar and glucose in the urine, which can cause multisystem damage over time. If not timely**, it will be combined with ketoacidosis, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, rotten apple exhalation, decreased urine output, and even coma. Liu Xiaoyan said that acute pancreatitis is mainly manifested as sudden onset of persistent epigastric pain, which can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension and fever, combined with multi-organ dysfunction, and high mortality. "If the two are superimposed, it will make the condition more dangerous and difficult. ”
Children with diabetes symptoms, especially if there is a history of diabetes in the family, must be vigilant. Liu Xiaoyan reminded that it is very important for children to have regular health check-ups, which can eliminate some hidden dangers of underlying diseases. If parents find that their children have symptoms such as polydipsia, polyuria, and polyphagia, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time to find out**, so as to diagnose and treat them in time to avoid the occurrence of critical illness.
