Clinical assessment of dehydration in older people admitted to hospital: what are the strongest indicators?
Due to an absence of published primary data, this study explores dehydration prevalence and the change in physiological parameters frequently used to assess dehydration (fluid deficit) in older hospitalized people, as no standard measurement method [...]
Hypovolemia and dehydration in the oncology patient
Dehydration is commonly but often inappropriately diagnosed in cancer patients. Dehydration is the loss of water from the intracellular compartment due to hypernatremia. Dehydration can occur among patients who are hypervolemic, euvolemic, or hypovolemic. Cancer [...]
Brain apparent diffusion coefficient decrease during correction of severe hypernatremic dehydration
We report on the brain diffusion MR imaging findings in a neonate with severe hypernatremic dehydration, which resulted in cerebral edema (osmotic edema) and in apparent diffusion coefficient decrease, despite a careful and slow rehydration. [...]
