La disidratazione è uno stato patologico che si instaura quando il bilancio idrico, ovvero quantità di acqua assunta meno l'acqua persa, è negativo, cioè l'acqua persa è maggiore di quella assunta. Normalmente si assumono 1,5 litri di acqua al giorno per mezzo del riflesso della sete, ma l'acqua può essere somministrata anche mediante infusione. Quando si instaura uno stato fisico che innalza il consumo di acqua come l'alta temperatura ambientale o altri stati patologici che fanno perdere liquidi, come la febbre, il vomito e la diarrea, oppure quando una persona non assume volontariamente acqua a sufficienza, l'organismo rimane disidratato e incomincia a funzionare male.
