Official Title: Diabetic Kidney Alarm (DKA) Study - Tubulopathy in New Onset Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Brief Summary: The overarching goals of this study are to determine whether tubular dysfunction (elevated urine sodium, bicarbonate and amino acids) and injury (elevated kidney injury molecule 1 [KIM-1], neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin [NGAL] and matrix metallopeptidase 9 [MMP9]) exist in new onset diabetic ketoacidosis (age 3-18), whether it is reversible and whether it is related to uricosuria and copeptin. The investigators propose to study a cohort of youth (ages 3-18, n=40) with new onset T1D who have serum and urine collection at DKA diagnosis and 3-month follow-up.
