Abstract | Hyperosmolar, hyperglycaemic state (HHS) is diagnosed from a triad of symptoms: severe hyperglycaemia, profound dehydration and a high serum osmolality. Often, patients are admitted confused, which emphasises the importance of obtaining good collateral histories where possible. This article will explore a case study and examine the clinical symptoms, pathophysiology and evidence-based management of HSS to highlight how the assessment, timely diagnosis and treatment of HHS is a complex and challenging task. |
