Diseases such as dysentery(uncontrolled diarrhea) and, uncontrolled vomiting can lead to dehydration. Overheating can also lead to dehydration.
If the skin loses its elasticity you can tell that fluids need to be administered.
: The inability to drink adequately is the other potential cause of dehydration. Whether it is the lack of availability of water
The human body constantly feels the need in water. It loses water through the lungs when we breathe. It loses water with the daily urine and stool. The color of urine is a good indicator of the organism need in water...
...
Symptoms of dehydration usually begin with thirst and progress to more alarming manifestations as the need for water becomes more dire. The initial signs and symptoms of mild dehydration in adults appear when the body has lost about 2% of it's total fluid. These mild dehydration symptoms are often (but not limited to):
* Thirst
* Loss of appetite
* Dry skin
* Flushing
* Dark colored urine
* Dry mouth / Cotton mouth
* Fatigue / Weakness
* Chills
* Head rushes
If the dehydration is allowed to continue unabated, when the total fluid loss reaches 5% the following effects of dehydration are normally experienced:
* Increased heart rate
* Increased respiration
* Decreased sweating
* Decreased urination
* Increased body temperature
* Extreme fatigue
* Muscle cramps
* Headaches
* Nausea
* Tingling of the limbs
When the body reaches 10% fluid loss emergency help is needed IMMEDIATELY! 10% fluid loss and above is often fatal! Symptoms of severe dehydration include:
* Muscle spasms
* Vomiting
* Racing pulse
* Shriveled skin
* Dim vision
* Painful urination
* Confusion
* Difficulty breathing
* Seizures
* Chest and Abdominal pain
* Unconsciousness
Be aware that these are not the only symptoms of severe dehydration that may manifest in response to dehydration, these are simply the most common. Symptoms of dehydration will differ from person to person because the body is a complex network of systems and everyone's body is different. When these systems are disturbed due to loss of fluids there will be several common symptoms shared by most bodies, but there may also be unusual or unexpected responses depending on the particular person in question. Age also plays a part in the manifestation of symptoms. Signs of dehydration in a child will not be the same as those experienced by a teenager, adult or in the elderly. Dehydration prevention is the best treatment for every age group. heatstroke is always around the corner.
One sign of dehydration is loss of skin turgidity. This is tested by pinching the skin lightly, if the skin doesn't pop back into place right away, it's due to a loss of turgidity that is likely caused by dehydration. Another sign is paleness.
Dehydration is the result when the body loses water fluid very quickly which causes a person to experience dizziness, dry mouth and headaches as a result. Dehydration can occur due to an illness or not enough fluid intakes.
Dehyration can happen a number of different ways. I will list a few as examples:
1. Exercising for long periods of time.
2. Vomiting or diarea (can't spell that word).
3. Perspiration (sweating) the more you perspire, the more dehydrated that you become.
4.not drinking alot of water
Dehydration can be caused when a person looses a lot of water through sweat and doesn't drink the required amount to replenish the amount lost. It may also happen if a person is affected by diarrhea.
Dehydration causes your body to be low in water and to get really thirsty
Not drinking
dehydration
Shock is usually caused by trauma, blood loss, dehydration or massive infection
caused by dehydration
Dehydration can be caused by other factors, such as diharea (please forgive spelling) and vomiting. There are some other disorders which can cause it as well but I don't know what they are.The treatment however is the same for severe dehydration, with treatment for the primary condition as well. For example, if vomiting caused dehydration, a vomiting medication would also be administered.
It is primarily caused by dehydration; without water and sweat, the body cannot cool off and overheats.
Dehydration is common if your body does not get its daily dose of water (which is well around 2 litres), dehydration however is not a disease but is an abnormal condition caused by insufficient water concentrations in the body.
The inexperienced travel guide caused many in his group to suffer severe dehydration while touring the Sahara Desert.
Hyperthermia may be caused by dehydration. Other causes of hyperthermia include heat stroke, as well as certain types of prescription drugs.
No; smelly urine is caused by dehydration, as is the yellow color
Dizziness and belly pain can be caused by dehydration and anxiety.
Mild dehydration is common and usually caused by not drinking enough fluids throughout the day. In children, diarrhoea is a common cause. There are many causes of dehydration, the most common are diarrhoea, vomiting, sweating, excessive urination and fever or burns.
Most common cause is dehydration because the alcohol displaces water in the bloodstream.
