Successfully managed alcoholic ketoacidosis with sepsis leading to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome: a case report

We present the case of a 28-year-old male with a history of alcohol dependency and smoking, who presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, and altered sensorium. He exhibited severe metabolic acidosis, hypoglycemia, low platelet count, and acute kidney injury. Alcoholic ketoacidosis was suspected due to ketonuria, metabolic acidosis, and ketonemia, compounded by electrolyte abnormalities and radiographic findings of pneumonia.
