As we know diabetes
mellitus is a common disorder wherein the insulin secretion is lowered. When a condition of uncontrolled situation occurs in
diabetes, this leads to severe metabolic acidosis.
Now, in this situation
the kidneys compensate for metabolic acidosis by reabsorbtion of titratable
acid part of which is made of ketone body acids.
The compensation for
acidosis is done by increased renal synthesis and excretion of ammonia.
