AB  - In this report we describe a patient who presented with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tachypnea and mental impairment. The patient had elevated serum lipase, troponin-I, creatinine kinase and myoglobin along with severe hyperglycemia (> 2000 mg/dl) and no ketouria. This patient was found to have nonketotic hyperosmolar hyperglycemia with concomitant rhabdomyolysis and myocardial infarction.ABBREVIATIONS: CK, creatine phosphokinase, CT, computed axial tomography, DKA, diabetic ketoacidosis, HHS, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome, BUN, blood urea nitrogen, GFR, glomerular filtration rate, TnI, troponin-I, WBC, white blood cell count.
