Organism dehydration

Water is the second for importance after oxygen the substance necessary for chemical and exchange processes in a human body. For this reason dehydration of an organism can provoke developing of various diseases and pathologies. On this background there is a development of various endocrine, cardiovascular, muscular and mental diseases.

Organism dehydration reasons

Organism dehydration first of all is caused by exceeding of removal of water from it in comparison with its receipt. Shortage of water provokes emergence of the most different diseases. For example, water greases joints, participates in processes of digestion and breath as lungs of the person need continuous moistening to exempt blood from carbon dioxide and to oxygenate it.

Generally dehydration of an organism is the result of dryness of air which comes to lungs. The strengthened mocheotdeleniye which means considerable loss not only liquids, but also chloride sodium that leads to disturbances of a water salt metabolism happens the first reaction to it.

The blood which lost a necessary amount of water decreases in volume and begins to circulate more slowly that leads to excessive loads of heart. Thus, the organism loses ability to get rid of excess heat in hot conditions and to distribute it – in cold time.

It is established that the organism in days needs about 3 l of liquid for maintenance of a water balance, and in hot season this quantity increases. Therefore its shortcoming can provoke organism dehydration. If air temperature exceeds +35 °C, the body of the person begins to heat up, especially at any exercise stress. Maintenance of normal temperature and disposal of excesses of heat is reached by means of sweating. During this process of people loses a lot of liquid which should be recovered. If resuming of necessary amount of moisture does not happen, such losses result in its deficit.

Act as the main reasons for shortage of water in a human body:

• Intensive sweating;
• The raised mocheotdeleniye;
• Severe nausea and vomiting;
• Acute diarrhea;
• The insufficient use of liquid provoked by loss of appetite or vomiting.

Organism dehydration symptoms

The first symptom of dehydration of an organism is, naturally, the strengthened feeling of thirst, however, it not at all is shown from the very beginning of this pathological process. The most sure sign of its existence it is possible to call discoloration and amounts of urine: if its volume considerably decreased, and color became dark yellow, it testifies to shortage of liquid in a human body and need to fill it.

Besides, sure signs of dehydration of an organism are strong sweating at high temperatures and exercise stresses, dark circles under eyes, noticeable decrease of the activity, overfatigue and various disturbances in work of sense bodys.

It is known that deficit of liquid first of all makes negative impact on a brain as it for 85% consists of water. In the conditions of its shortage development of energy in a brain sharply decreases that strongly is reflected in sense bodys. For this reason it is necessary to distinguish from symptoms of dehydration of an organism and such as:

• Irritability and concern;
• Despondency and depression;
• Weakening of sexual desire;
• Weight in the head and headaches;
• Food addictions, thirst for alcohol, smoking and drugs.

All these symptoms of dehydration of an organism can testify to an initial stage of a depression which can provoke development of chronic fatigue in the person. According to some specialists, shortage of water in brain fabrics is the direct reason of the continuous social stress which is followed by feeling of uncertainty in itself, fear, concern and other emotional problems.

The most serious symptoms of dehydration of an organism which develop if the necessary amount of liquid is not recovered are:

• General weakness;
• The confusion of consciousness leading to faints;
• Dullness and flabbiness of integuments;
• Spasms;
• Tachycardia.

These indicators of a lack of water disregarded quite often lead to such complications as injury of kidneys, a depressed case and even by a lethal outcome.

Treatment of dehydration of an organism

Specialists note that it is simpler to prevent dehydration of an organism, than to treat. Therefore, irrespective of the level of activity and the state of health, it is necessary to use the maximum quantity of liquid during the day. Small children and people of advanced age first of all enter into risk group, especially at attacks of nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and temperature increase.

Treatment of dehydration of an organism assumes the constant use of water, but at loss of electrolytes it is necessary to fill shortage of sodium and potassium. For recovery of salts there are such special structures as глюкосолан or цитраглюкосолан which can be applied both to prevention, and at slight dehydration. It is recommended to add to drinking water a little salt in time or after heavy exercise stresses. However such method is considered effective only in case of the use big quantity of drink during the day.

When deficit of liquid leads to a considerable lowering of arterial pressure that poses a threat for life, the solutions containing sodium chloride are intravenously entered. Besides, for treatment of dehydration of an organism it is necessary to remove the cause which provoked it. For example, at diarrhea, except recovery of the necessary amount of water, it is necessary to accept the drugs adjusting a chair. If kidneys remove a lot of water, perhaps, treatment is required by synthetic hormone.

After elimination of the reason of dehydration of an organism it is necessary to monitor consumption of liquid and not to allow a recurrence. For this purpose the adult is recommended to drink at least 2-3 l of water daily, especially in hot time and at considerable exercise stresses.
