HHNKC is also known as diabetic hyperglycemic hyperosmolar coma (HHOC), hyperosmolar nonketotic coma (HONK), hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome (HHNS). In HHNKC, blood sugar levels rise, and your body tries to get rid of the excess sugar by passing it into your urine.
Pressures sores result from the death (necrosis) of tissues due to local deprivation of blood supply, and thus of oxygen (ischemic necrosis). This is why tissue compression is the first clinical sign of pressure sores; it blocks the small blood vessels supplying tissues.
Structural changes of cells undergoing necrosis and apoptosis. Necrosis (from the Greek Î½Î­ÎºÏÏÏÎ¹Ï death, the stage of dying, the act of killing from Î½ÎµÎºÏÏÏ dead) is a form of cell injury which results in the premature death of cells in living tissue by autolysis.ntreated necrosis results in a build-up of decomposing dead tissue and cell debris at or near the site of the cell death. A classic example is gangrene.
