Dehydration – A dilemma for cells and tissues
Common causes of Dehydration
The commonest cause of dehydration is diarrhea and vomiting. Diarrhea makes the body lose large amount of water and electrolytes from the body and about 1.5 million children, including infants, die from diarrhea dehydration from all over the world. High fever can also cause dehydration. People who sweat excessively are prone to dehydration. Vigorous exercising, tedious physical activities and humid, warm weather conditions are few reasons contributing to the causes of dehydration. Too much urination causes fluid loss leading towards dehydration. Third degree burn patients are also prone to dehydration.
Symptoms of Dehydration
Mild dehydration manifests first with sticky and dry mouth. Often children and adults facing this problem at a moderate level feel low, sleepy and inactive. Urination reduces noticeably and the continuous thirst is felt. Mild or severe headache and weakness of the muscles are two other symptoms of dehydration. Acute dehydration is considered an emergency by the doctors. The mucous membranes, skin and mouth becomes extremely dry, urination stops and the patient starts feeling dizzy. Blood pressures falls drastically, heartbeat increases all of a sudden and body temperature increases in this case.
Risks related to Dehydration
As far infants and kids are concerned, most of them fall sick and even lead to death because of dehydration, as a result of diarrhea. In adults, the body’s capacity to retain fluid reduces and they become inclined to dehydration. There are certain other diseases which are closely related to dehydration and they are diabetes, kidney problems, alcoholism, cystic fibrosis etc. The athletes, suffering from dehydration will see a remarkable fall in their endurance level. People residing at the higher altitudes are open to the risk of dehydration.

With Summer fastly approaching, it's important to stay hydrated in the hot weather. I actually suffered from heat exhaustion a few years ago on a gold course. I didn't stay hydrated and I got really weak and was vomiting. I could barely walk and my heart rate was increasing. An ambulance was called and they gave me oxygen and an IV. It was definitely a scary situation that could have been avoided if I had just stayed hydrated and drank plenty of water.

If you are suffering from any or all of the above symptoms, you should reach a doctor at the earliest so that he can perform certain tests to diagnose the problem and start the treatment. Sometimes blood tests are performed to check the electrolyte content of the body.

The fine structure of interstitial cells of connective tissue in the kidney of Achatina achatina and the skin of the snail Arion hortensis is described and evidence is presented showing that these cells in the latter species are involved in the synthesis of respiratory blood pigment hemocyanin. When cells enter the program of aging, they proliferate and undergo a series of morphological changes and functional.

Dehydrate you a day where starvation to take a month or so will be based on your weight and activity level can kill in less. Your body from everything you eat or drink water, but clear liquid to the water fast and easy way to provide your body needs to be. Sports drinks and special drinks like Pedialyte are good choices because they needed the electrolytes you normally dehydration due to vomiting or diarrhea if you lose, or lose excess fluid through sweating.

Dehydration occurs when the amount of water leaving the body is greater than the amount taken into the body is very dynamic and constantly evolving. This is especially true with the water in the body. We lose water regularly.
