ABSTRACT
Although diabetic ketoacidosis is relatively common in primary diabetes mellitus, it is very rare in diabetes mellitus secondary to steroid therapy. We here present a case of diabetic ketoacidosis after steroid administration for minimal change nephrotic syndrome. A 29-year-old man was first admitted with generalized edema and massive proteinuria. He had no past history of diabetes mellitus. Kidney biopsy revealed minimal change disease and he was treated with prednisolone(1mg/kg). Eight weeks after steroid treatment, proteinuria disappeared completely and steroid dose was decreased by 10mg in a week. Nine weeks after steroid treatment, diabetes mellitus newly develped and it was well controlled with insulin therapy. As prednisolone dose was decreased, insulin requirement also diminished. When he was taking 30mg of prednisolone, insulin therapy was stopped because of good glycemic control. He complained of vomitting and abdominal pain, and tachypnea a week after withdrawl of insulin. Laboratory findings revealed severe diabetic ketoacidosis. Steroid was stopped and he was treated with fluid, insulin and potassium. Now he is beibg successfully treated with 20 unit of NPH insulin without relapse of nephrotic syndrome.
