Fluid Loss Due to Urinary Issues
Many urinary problems may lead to excess loss of body fluids that increase the risk of hypertonic dehydration. These include:
– Kidney disease: Kidneys may not function properly, which affects the filtering of sodium.
– Addison disease: This condition causes an insufficient release of adrenal hormone.
– Post-obstructive diuresis: Excessive water is excreted through urination.
– Hyperglycemia: This disease causes high levels of glucose.
– Hypoaldosteronism: It is characterized by lowered levels of aldosterone.
– Salt-wasting tubular disease: There may be excessive excretion of salt and water through urination.
– Diabetes insipidus: The kidneys cannot control bodily fluids, which results in frequent urination and hypertonic dehydration. [7]
