- Blood parameters influenced by hydration status
- PCV, plasma protein, electrolytes (Na,
Cl), measures of glomerular filtration
(urea and creatinine), USG
- PCV, plasma protein, electrolytes (Na,
Cl), measures of glomerular filtration
(urea and creatinine), USG
- Concurrent abnormalities can obscure
interpretation of dehydration
- Loss of RBCs (anemia),
protein (PLE, PLN),
electrolytes
- Loss of proteins via kidneys,
GI tract, burns
- Glucosuria causing osmotic diuresis can
decrease Na, Cl, and USG in a
dehydrated patient
- Loss of RBCs (anemia),
protein (PLE, PLN),
electrolytes
