Overview

This review outlines the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state in elderly patients, highlighting the associated risks and clinical features.

Key Points

  • HHS is a critical and often life-threatening condition that can arise in elderly patients with severe dehydration and hyperglycemia.
  • High blood sugar levels above 30 mmol/l typically indicate the presence of HHS, with severe dehydration affecting prognosis.
  • A comprehensive review of literature and clinical guidelines reveals the necessity for tailored therapy in elderly patients to avoid complications.
  • Significant neurological disorders and impaired consciousness are frequently observed in severe cases of HHS, calling for urgent care.
