Terry has been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. Recently, she was found comatose and hospitalized. Later she was diagnosed with ketoacidosis. Which of the following best describes how these conditions are related? The anorexia nervosa induced a starvation condition in Terry. In turn, this starvation caused an increase in ketone bodies in the blood. Ketone body accumulation caused acidification dropping the pH too low, resulting in coma. She was severally underweight. Due to this, her liver not producing enough glycogen to meet her energy needs. So her system went into anaerobic shock resulting in ketone body build-up in the kidneys. Anorexia nervosa is closely associated with excessive exercise. Due to this, Terry had no glucose reserves in her skeletal muscles. This caused a drop in ATP production and compromised the citric acid cycle, leading to ketoacidosis. The lack of nutrients characteristic of anorexia nervosa caused a pathological drop in blood glucose levels. Lack of glucose to the neural tissue induced both coma and increased ketone body production.
