Acetone is emitted from the skin and acetone concentrations correlate with blood beta-hydroxybutyrate.
Skin acetone concentrations of 63 patients with diabetes and 32 control subjects were measured by cold trapping followed by gas chromatography.
Skin acetone concentrations of patients with diabetes (188+/-17 ppb; mean+/-SE) were significantly higher than those of the control subjects (87+/-10 ppb, p<0.01). There was no significant difference in skin acetone concentrations among patients with diabetes with regard to mode of treatment. Skin acetone concentrations were correlated with blood beta-hydroxybutyrate (r=0.669, p<0.01), blood glucose (r=0.608, p<0.01), and HbA1c (r=0.292, p<0.05) in patients with diabetes. Skin acetone concentration was high (940 ppb) in a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis, and it fell to 80 ppb after insulin therapy.
Measurement of skin acetone can be used as a screening test for ketoacidosis provided the analytical methods and tools become simpler. Moreover, it could become a marker of diabetic control and of ketone production in diabetes and other ketogenic conditions.
丙酮从皮肤排出,且丙酮浓度与血液β-羟基丁酸相关。
采用冷阱捕集后气相色谱法测量63例糖尿病患者和32例对照者的皮肤丙酮浓度。
糖尿病患者的皮肤丙酮浓度(188±17 ppb;均值±标准误)显著高于对照者(87±10 ppb,p<0.01)。糖尿病患者中,不同治疗方式的患者皮肤丙酮浓度无显著差异。糖尿病患者的皮肤丙酮浓度与血液β-羟基丁酸(r=0.669,p<0.01)、血糖(r=0.608,p<0.01)及糖化血红蛋白(r=0.292,p<0.05)相关。1例糖尿病酮症酸中毒患者的皮肤丙酮浓度较高(940 ppb),胰岛素治疗后降至80 ppb。
如果分析方法和工具更简单,测量皮肤丙酮可作为酮症酸中毒的筛查试验。此外,它可能成为糖尿病及其他生酮状态下糖尿病控制和酮体生成的标志物。
