Abstract
Alcoholic ketoacidosis is a relatively rare condition, which may have a lethal outcome if left untreated. This review covers definition, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approach and treatment. Usually, patients respond well and quickly to treatment, if it is started early in the course. Thus, mortality can be significantly reduced.
