These traces were produced by a time-domain reflectometer made from common lab equipment connected to approximately 100 feet (30 m) of coaxial cable having a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. The propagation velocity of this cable is approximately 66 % of the speed of light in a vacuum.
Metabolic problems such as hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone), diabetic ketoacidosis (build-up of ketones in the body), and electrolyte imbalances can also trigger rhabdomyolysis. Other genetic disorders that can lead to rhabdomyolysis include: 1  carnitine deficiency. 2  McArdleâs disease. 3  lactate dehydrogenase deficiency.
Signs and Symptoms of Hyperglycemia, Acidosis, and Dehydration. Symptoms of hyperglycemia associated with diabetic ketoacidosis may include thirst, polyuria, polydipsia, and nocturia. Signs of acidosis may include shallow rapid breathing or air hunger (Kussmaul or sighing respiration), abdominal tenderness, and disturbance of consciousness. Although these signs are not usual in all cases of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), their presence signifies a severe form of DKA. Signs of dehydration include a weak and rapid pulse, dry tongue and skin, hypotension, and increased capillary refill time.
