Hypohydration is a pathological condition that occurs as a result of a lack of water in the body. In medicine, the terms “hyponatremia” and “hydrosmopedesis” are synonymous with hyposodium hypoosmotic hypotension (H. hypoosmotic). The uniformity of the terms is due to the presence of a clinical picture associated with a violation of the osmotic pressure of the intercellular fluid and the introduction of substances that stabilize the water content in it.
Insufficient water intake leads to loss of electrolytes and metabolic disorders. Losing a significant amount of water can lead to diseases such as pancreatitis, diabetes and hypercortisolism. Insufficient calorie intake can also lead to protein and nutrient deficiencies in the body, which is a serious health concern.
The main causes of hypohydration are not taking in enough water or losing it too quickly. Both situations can occur in some diseases. Such as anorexia, pancreatitis and diabetes, which lead to excessive exhaustion of the body. Hypoylemia can also occur due to dehydration, poisoning, kidney dialysis, gastric surgery, and severe vomiting and diarrhea.
At first glance, hypovolemic hypoosmic dehydration is a syndrome reminiscent of a number of other water-electrolyte balance disorders. However, unlike the above conditions, it is characterized by a loss of total fluid volume (TLV) due to a sharp daily decrease in TLV + EL, especially relative to plasma (hypervolemia).
The syndrome develops after prolonged, irrational, increasing intravenous infusions (hemodez-N, hydroxyethyl starch) - during the day, an average of 40–50 ml/kg of fluid is injected into the peripheral circulation. Clinically, the symptoms are similar to dehydration crisis or water-bearing diarrhea, and the substrate is explained by the development of hypovolemic hypoosmic dehydration.
