Dehydration occurs when you lose or use more fluid than your body takes in. It leaves your body lacking the fluids it needs to function. Without treatment,chronic dehydrationcan increase your risk of severe damage to key body systems such as yourbrain, heart, andkidneys.
Despite an attempt to consume healthy water levels, other factors can increase your risk of dehydration. It can occur as a result ofdiarrhea,vomiting, fever, extreme sweating, or frequent urination. You also have a higher risk of dehydration if you have certain illnesses that damage the way your body uses and maintains liquid.

Know the signs of dehydration so you can work to replenish lost fluids or seek medical care before your condition worsens. Symptoms of dehydration can include:
#1 Celiac Disease
Celiac diseaseis a chronicautoimmune diseasethat damages yoursmall intestine. It is triggered when affected people consume foods that contain gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and certain other grains. Treatment involves following a gluten-free diet.
In celiac disease, gluten promotes an immune response that attacks thevilli(small fingerlike projections that line your small intestine), which are responsible for nutrient absorption. Damaged villi can increase your risk ofmalabsorption(an inability to absorb minerals and vitamins from your food).
Diarrhea is a common symptom of malabsorption in celiac disease. Dehydration can occur as a complication of diarrhea as your body loses more fluids than you can take in. In rare cases, people with celiac disease can develop diarrhea that causes severe dehydration, weight loss, and metabolic abnormalities in a situation called a celiac crisis.
Symptoms of celiac disease can vary among individuals. It is possible to have celiac disease but not have noticeable symptoms. When they occur, symptoms of celiac disease in adults can include:

#2 Sjögren’s Disease
Sjögren’s disease(formerly called Sjögren’s syndrome) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects your entire body. While the disease can occur alone, about 50% of people with Sjögren’s disease have another autoimmune connective tissue disease such aslupus,rheumatoid arthritis, orscleroderma.
Sjögren’s disease causes problems when your immune system attacks moisture-producing glands and tissues. These areas include yoursalivary glands,which make saliva;lacrimal glands,which make tears; andmucosal membranes,which makemucus.
Sometimes, your immune system can attack other body parts, damaging organs and tissues. Dehydration can occur as the disease affects your body’s ability to regulate fluid andelectrolytes(minerals that your body needs to balance water levels).
Other symptoms of Sjögren’s disease are:
What Is Associated Sjögren’s Disease?
#3 Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitisis a type ofinflammatory bowel disease (IBD)that causes inflammation andulcers(open sores) on the inner lining of yourlarge intestine(yourcolonand rectum). It usually occurs as the result of anoveractive immune system.
Inflammation from ulcerative colitis can inhibit adequate water and electrolyte absorption (magnesium,sodium,zinc,phosphorus,potassium), causing dehydration. Your large intestine is responsible for water and electrolyte absorption and cannot perform this normally when it is damaged. Additional conditions common in ulcerative colitis, such as frequent and watery diarrhea, can also contribute to dehydration.
How To Manage Dehydration When You Have IBD
#4 Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosisis a progressive genetic disease. In people with cystic fibrosis, mutations in a gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) damage the CFTR protein. When this protein is dysfunctional, it cannot move chloride, a component of salt, to the cell surface. Without chloride to attract water to the cell surface, the mucus in various organs becomes thick and sticky.
People with cystic fibrosis have a higher risk of dehydration because they lose more sodium (salt) from their bodies than the average person. When a person with CF is active in recreational activities, becomes ill, or the weather is excessively hot, they lose more sodium (salt) from their body than the average person.
People with cystic fibrosis also have a thirst sensation that does not turn on as efficiently as it does for other people. Usually, salt levels in your blood climb when you sweat, triggering thirst. However, when too much salt is lost, as occurs in cystic fibrosis, you may not feel thirsty even if you have lost a lot of body fluid.
Other symptoms of cystic fibrosis can occur as a result of mucus that becomes thick and sticky rather than thin and slippery. Thick mucus can cause blockages and clog your organs. This interferes with normal organ function and leads to:

#5 Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s diseaseis a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It can cause inflammation in any part of the tract but usually affects the small intestine and the top of the large intestine. Research indicates that Crohn’s disease may be an autoimmune disease, though its specific cause is unknown.
Diarrhea and vomiting associated with Crohn’s disease can lead to severe dehydration in some people. Dehydration in Crohn’s disease occurs when you lose more fluids than you replace. Dehydration can be a life-threatening condition if left untreated.
Other symptoms of Crohn’s disease can include:
How Crohn’s Disease Is Treated
#6 Diabetes
Diabetesis a chronic disease that interferes with your body’s ability to convert food into energy. When you eat, your body breaks down the food you consume intoglucose, a type of sugar. When this sugar enters your bloodstream, yourpancreasreleasesinsulin, a hormone that pushes sugar into your body’s cells so they can make energy.
Diabetes can interfere with the production of an adequate amount of insulin or the proper use of insulin. This leaves too much glucose in your bloodstream, without it reaching your cells.
Diabetes can increase your risk of dehydration because your kidneys typically reabsorb blood sugar. However, the elevated blood sugar levels that occur with diabetes can stress your kidneys.
As a result, the extra sugar passes into your urine along with extra fluid, making you urinate more frequently. Your body draws fluid from your cells if you are not drinking enough to replenish the extra fluid needed to flush out the extra sugar. As you excrete more fluid than you consume, dehydration can occur.
Other symptoms of diabetes include:
Can Dehydration Be a Symptom of Diabetes?
#7 POTS Syndrome
Problems occur because your body cannot control your blood pressure or heart rate after you rise. For up to 10 minutes after you stand, you may not get enough blood to your brain, resulting in dizziness and light-headedness.
Dehydration can occur in POTS because the condition interferes with your ability to retain fluids. One common problem involves the kidney hormonesaldosterone,angiotensin, and renin, which regulate sodium and fluid retention. When inadequate fluid remains in your bloodstream, the reduced blood volume contributes to POTS syndrome.
Other symptoms of POTS can include:
Managing Low Sodium (Hyponatremia)
#8 Cancer
Canceroccurs when some of your body’s cells mutate, grow uncontrollably, and spread to other parts of your body in a process calledmetastasis. The disease can start anywhere in your body. Cancer cells grow and multiply when they should not. Problems arise when these cells join together and formtumorsor lumps, which can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Other symptoms of cancer can vary based on the location of the cancer cells. Some common symptoms of cancer are:
Signs and Symptoms of Cancer
#9 Addison’s Disease
Addison’s diseaseis a rare condition also known as primaryadrenalinsufficiency and hypocortisolism. With this disease, your adrenal glands do not produce enough of the hormonescortisoland sometimesaldosterone. Youradrenal glandssit just above your kidneys. The most common cause of the disease is autoimmune adrenalitis, a disorder in which your immune system attacks cells of your adrenal glands.
Addison’s disease and a shortage of cortisol can interfere with your body’s ability to respond to stress and perform other normal life functions. Dehydration can occur as an early sign of Addison’s disease. It is linked to insufficient levels of the hormone aldosterone, which regulates the balance of salt and water in your body.
Other symptoms of Addison’s disease are:
What Is Adrenal Fatigue?
#10 Gastroenteritis
While gastroenteritis is not harmful to most people, it can become dangerous if it leads to dehydration. Dehydration is the most common complication of gastroenteritis because of the loss of fluids and electrolytes that occur with diarrhea and vomiting.
In addition to dehydration, othersymptoms of gastroenteritisare:
4 Home Remedies for Stomach Flu
#11 Hyperthyroidism
Dehydration can be a complication of hyperthyroidism due to high body temperatures, sweating, and diarrhea. It can also occur as a symptom of a thyroid storm, a rare but life-threatening condition that causes severe dehydration and cardiac problems.
Other symptoms of hyperthyroidism are:
Can Thyroid Disease Cause Heart Issues?
#12 Sepsis
Sepsis, also called blood poisoning, is your body’s extreme response to an infection. It is a life-threatening medical emergency that damages vital organs and tissue. Sepsis requires immediate medical treatment.
Dehydration occurs with sepsis due to the external loss of fluid through sweating. Sepsis also causes internal fluid loss due to decreased oral intake of fluids, capillary leakage, and sepsis-induced vasodilation (widening of blood vessels to increase blood flow to areas lacking nutrients or oxygen).
Get immediate medical attention if you or a family member is experiencing any of the following symptoms of sepsis:
IV Treatments or Drinking Water: What’s the Best Treatment for You?
The best treatment for dehydration depends on the severity of the symptoms and the cause of the dehydration. Intravenous (IV) fluid replacement is routinely provided in hospitals to deliver large quantities of liquids directly into the bloodstream of severely dehydrated patients. More recently, it has also been provided at “drip bars,” locations where you can receive IV fluids without a physician’s recommendation.
While water can help replenish fluids lost to dehydration, IV therapy can replace fluids faster and in greater quantities. IV therapy also provides an option to add lost vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes, as well as medications. to help your body heal.
If you have symptoms of dehydration, contact your healthcare provider for advice on restoring lost fluids and other treatments. Dehydration resulting from an acute or chronic medical condition may also require other medical treatments to offset complications and promote healing.
Why Am I So Dehydrated? 9 Common Reasons
Summary
Dehydration occurs when your body loses or uses more water than you consume. Without proper water levels, your body cannot function normally. While mild cases of dehydration can be reversed with proper water intake, severe cases can threaten your health and well-being without medical treatment.
Certain health conditions can increase the risk of dehydration despite drinking proper amounts of water. Know the signs of dehydration so you can contact your healthcare provider for proper treatment as soon as a problem occurs.
