Answer:

During hypernatremic dehydration, water is osmotically pulled from cells into the extracellular space. To compensate, cells can generate osmotically active particles (idiogenic osmoles) that pull water back into the cell and maintain cellular fluid volume. Dehydration is not always related to an underlying condition. It may be caused by:

Vomiting & diarrhea (especially in infants & children)

Drugs that increase urine excretion (diuretics)

Excessive sweating particularly with prolonged exertion

Decreased water intake

Burns

Heat
