Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Children with underlying liver disorders 2. Children with symptomatic cerebral edema 3. Children with diagnosed inborn error of metabolism

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Incidence of new onset / progression of AKI that will be defined as one of the following composite outcomes: 1) change in Creatinine or urine output as per KDIGO classification (or) 2) change in GFR as calculated using Schwartz formula (or) 3) change in NGAL, as estimated at 0 and 24 hours of starting fluids Timepoint: 0 and 24 HOURS

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Time to achieving end point of DKA correction 2. Time to different events (e.g. AKI, Metabolic acidosis, death etc.) 3. Change in chloride levels, pH and bicarbonate levels (baseline to 24hrs.) 4. Proportion of in hospital all-cause mortality 5. Proportion of children requiring RRT 6. Length of ICU / hospital stay. Timepoint: Time at which Resolution of DKA as defined by pH above 7.3, bicarbonate above 15mEq/L occurs
