In Table 3 of the Apr. 1, 2003, article on diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and the hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS),1 the line for growth hormone should have specified normal ranges for men (< 5 mg/L) and women (< 10 mg/L). (Separate values for men and women of the mean growth hormone levels in DKA and HHS are not included in the table because this information was not available in the original study that reported them.2)
Also, the last line of Table 3 should have shown values for norepinephrine, as follows: normal range 0.65–4.14 nmol/L, mean value in DKA 6.96 (standard deviation [SD] 2.36) nmol/L and mean value in HHS 1.66 (SD 0.53) nmol/L.
