- Hypotonic (primarily a loss of electrolytes)
Hypotonic dehydration is the loss of water associated with a decrease in effective osmolality of body fluids. .
- Hypertonic (primarily loss of water)
Hypertonic dehydration occurs when water losses exceed sodium losses. Excess pure water loss occurs through the skin, lungs, and kidneys.
- Isotonic Dehydration (equal loss of water and electrolytes)
Isotonic dehydration is loss of water with a preserved normal effective osmolality of body fluids.
Different types of dehydration are hypotonic, hypertonic, and Isotonic dehydration.
