What are the causes and symptoms of adult dehydration? Let's get to know.

What are the causes and symptoms of adult dehydration

(1) The loss of body fluid through digestive tract is the most common reason. Because the loss of upper digestive tract fluid is mainly caused by H, it is easy to be accompanied by metabolic alkalosis, and the lower digestive tract fluid contains more alkali, which is easy to be accompanied by metabolic acidosis. Therefore, in the diagnosis of isotonic dehydration, we should pay attention to whether it is accompanied by acid-base imbalance.

(2) The patients with heart, liver and kidney dysfunction and multiple serous cavity effusion are prone to isoosmotic dehydration due to repeated large amount of pleural and abdominal puncture. Attention should be paid to the drainage volume not more than 1000ml at a time, and to observe whether there is hypovolemic state and timely treatment.

(3) Urine volume is a powerful index to reflect the adequacy of body fluid volume. Generally, urine volume less than 1000ml means the decrease of extracellular fluid. However, attention should be paid to some special conditions, such as poor control of blood glucose in diabetes mellitus, especially in patients with diabetic hyperosmolar coma or ketoacidosis. Due to the existence of osmotic diuresis, even if hypovolemic shock has occurred, urine volume can sometimes be more than 1500ml / d, At this time, urine volume can not be used as an index to judge whether the effective blood volume is normal or not.
