Lab Values Dehydration. Hormonal effects of dehydration. Fluid was given to16 out of 43 patients 37 withserumureaconcentrations514 3mmol l 29 49 59 with bicarbonate concentrations. Isonatremic dehydration is defined by sodium of 130 to 150 meq l 130 to 150 mmol l. Capillary glucose values in the hypotensive group were 33 lower than venous laboratory glucose values and were significantly lower than the values obtained in the normotensive group.
The amount of salts sodium and potassium and sugar as well as indicators of kidney function bun and creatinine may be important to evaluate the degree of dehydration and possible causes. Laboratory parameters were less important in helping reach a decision on uid replacement. Capillary glucose values in the hypotensive group were 33 lower than venous laboratory glucose values and were significantly lower than the values obtained in the normotensive group. If imbalances and or organ dysfunction are found then serial testing may be performed to monitor the person over time and their response to treatment. This reflects an equal proportion of solute and water loss. In an otherwise healthy child with acute dehydration known to be due to diarrhea or vomiting the amount of deficit can best be estimated by accurate weight.

Capillary glucose values in the hypotensive group were 33 lower than venous laboratory glucose values and were significantly lower than the values obtained in the normotensive group. If organ dysfunction and or imbalances are discovered then serial testing might be conducted to monitor an individual over time as well as how they respond to treatment. Simply put dehydration refers to a loss of fluid from the body. Isonatremic dehydration is defined by sodium of 130 to 150 meq l 130 to 150 mmol l.
