Dehydration happens when your body loses more water than it takes in, which disrupts the normal chemical processes your body needs to function. This can occur from sweating a lot, certain health conditions, or simply not drinking enough water.

En médecine, la déshydratation représente la contraction d'un ou plusieurs secteurs liquidiens de l'organisme, consécutivement à des anomalies métaboliques variées. Sa cause principale est la perte de sodium, ion qui fixe les molécules d'eau. Elle est le plus souvent globale (impliquant à la fois le secteur intracellulaire et extracellulaire), mais elle peut aussi être cantonnée à un de ces secteurs, en particulier en début d'évolution. C'est un syndrome fréquent mais qui peut être grave, car elle entraîne un risque de collapsus (choc hypovolémique) lorsqu'elle est sévère. On retrouve globalement trois schémas de déshydratation : la déshydratation extracellulaire (DEC), la déshydratation intracellulaire (DIC), la déshydratation globale (intra et extracellulaire).
