What diseases can be caused by lack of water in the human body? This question is really well asked. This question seems simple, but in fact, it is a chapter that medical students in medical universities must learn - low-volume hypernatremia , also known as hypertonic dehydration .

1. Reduced water intake

is more common in water sources, difficulties in eating and drinking, and water shortage caused by certain central diseases, serious diseases and frail diseases, but there is no thirst feeling. If you don't drink water for a day, you will lose 1200ml of water, which is about 2% of your body weight. If a baby does not drink water for a day, it can cause weight loss of 10%, so it is very important for babies to replenish water.

2, too much water loss

In the process of water loss, it is divided into water loss through breathing, water loss through skin, water loss through kidneys, water loss through gastrointestinal tract, etc. In short, these people lose too much water. Lack of water in the body.

But, having said that, as long as people with normal thirst can replenish it by drinking water, low-volume dehydration rarely occurs. Because in the early stages of dehydration, if the plasma osmotic pressure slightly increases, the human body will stimulate the thirst center and cause thirst. People will drink water involuntarily, so it will not easily lead to dehydration. You can rest assured about this. .

I hope my introduction will be helpful to you.
