Answer: D
Ketoacidosis is associated with diabetes.
In uncontrolled type 1 diabetes, lack of insulin means cells cannot use glucose, so the body breaks down fat at a high rate. The liver turns the fatty acids into ketone bodies (acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetone), which accumulate and make the blood acidic. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a medical emergency.
Liver disease, burns and cancer cause other metabolic problems, but ketoacidosis is the classic acute complication of diabetes.
