Postmortem Diagnosis of Ketoacidosis by Determining Beta-Hydroxybutyrate Levels in Three Types of Body Fluids by Two Different Methods

Postmortem Diagnosis of Ketoacidosis by Determining Beta-Hydroxybutyrate Levels in Three Types of Body Fluids by Two Different Methods

Background: Postmortem assessment of endogenous ketoacidosis is primarily focused on the determination of 3-beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). The aim of our study was to identify the most adequate body fluid and postmortem quantification method for assessing ketoacidosis status immediately prior to death....
