Resolution of DKA is defined as general improvement in the symptoms, such as the ability to tolerate oral nutrition and fluids, normalization of blood acidity (pH>7.3), and absence of ketones in blood (<1 mmol/l) or urine.
A Dr. Mehmet Oz, MD , Cardiology (Cardiovascular Disease), answered. No one is sure what causes acne, but hormones appear to play a supporting role. Hormones can trigger acne when the sebaceous (oil-making) glands in the skin ramp up, producing too much sebum that mixes with debris and bacteria and can clog pores. Acne also tends to affect people with certain hormonal conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome. In addition, acne is more common during adolescence, pregnancy, and certain times in womenâs menstrual cycle, when hormones are more likely to fluctuate.
Also, when we experience stress, our adrenal gland goes into overdrive. Androgens (male hormones), which this gland produces, increase. Higher androgen levels can lead to more acne. This is especially true in women, who produce a much larger percentage of their androgens in the adrenal gland than men. This may explain why stress seems to affect women more than men when it comes to acne.
