Hyperosmolar syndrome or diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome is a medical emergency caused by a very high blood glucose level. The prefix "hyper" means high, and "osmolarity" is a measure of the concentration of active particles in a solution, so the name of the syndrome simply refers to the high concentration of glucose in the blood. ==Signs & symptoms== Hyperosmolar syndrome may take a long duration - days and weeks - to develop. However, certain signs and symptoms may indicate that such a condition is developing. Some of the signs include the following:〔(Diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome )〕 # Excessive thirst despite frequently taking water / other liquids # Continued high level of blood sugar # Dry and/ or parched mouth # Frequency of urination increases # Pulse rate becomes rapid # Shortness of breath with exertion # Skin becomes dry and warm and there is no sweating # Sleepiness and/ or a condition of confusion 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hyperosmolar syndrome」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
