Nonketotic Coma is a type of coma caused by a lack of insulin.
The preferred term used by the American Diabetes Association is hyperosmolar nonketotic state (HNS).
Other commonly used names are hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic coma (HHNKC) or hyperosmotic non-ketotic acidosis (HONK).
A nonketotic crisis means: (1) very high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood; (2) absence of ketoacidosis; (3) great loss of body fluid; and (4) a sleepy, confused, or comatose state.
Nonketotic coma often results from some other problem such as a severe infection or kidney failure.
