Project 6.1.2
1. Anna Garcia died from ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis is caused by diabetes because when there is glucose build up in the blood. This buildup causes ketones to form which are very hard to break down. They then flow down into the urinary system and cause a lot of pain. Anna's blood ketones were very high (1.2 mm/L) and so was her glucose levels (260mg). Her body organs slowly shut down because her blood became acidic and caused her body to slowly shut down, that is how Anna Garcia died.
