Hyperosmosis

Hyperosmosis: what is it and how does it affect the human body?

Hyperosmosis is a condition in which the concentration of solutes in the body's cells becomes higher than in the environment. This phenomenon occurs due to the difference in the concentrations of substances inside and outside the cell, and can occur when the balance between water and electrolytes in the body is disturbed.

Hyperosmosis can be caused by a variety of causes, including diabetic ketoacidosis, syndrome of inappropriate vasopressin secretion (IVAS), long-term disturbance of electrolyte homeostasis, and certain medications. Symptoms of hyperosmosis include thirst, dry skin and mucous membranes, headache, nausea, vomiting, convulsions and unconsciousness.

Hyperosmosis can have negative effects on the human body, leading to dehydration and cell damage, as well as decreased organ function. In severe cases, hyperosmosis can lead to coma and death.

Treatment for hyperosmosis depends on its cause, but involves restoring the balance of electrolytes and fluids in the body. In some cases, hospitalization and intensive care may be required.

In conclusion, hyperosmosis is a serious condition that requires immediate treatment. Regular monitoring of electrolyte and fluid levels in the body can help prevent the occurrence of hyperosmosis and its associated complications. If you suspect hyperosmosis, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Hyperosmosis is a variant of the state of hypertonic dehydration, accompanied by an increase in the volume of extracellular fluid to 8–12% of body weight (normally about 6%), resulting in an increase in plasma osmolarity by 30–40 mOsm/kg. The disease leads to disruption of the functioning of most organs and
