Dehydration is most readily and accurately measured by body weight.

Dehydration is a disorder brought on by excessive fluid loss from the body. It occurs when your body lacks the necessary fluids to function properly because you are losing more fluids than you are consuming.

You may experience dehydration due to:

• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
• sweating excessively
• excessive urination, which can occur as a result of some medications and conditions
• Fever
• drinking insufficiently

Replace lost fluids and electrolytes as part of your dehydration treatment. You might only need to drink a lot of water if the condition is minor. Sports drinks could be useful if you lost electrolytes. There are additional pediatric oral rehydration products available.
