Infantile Diarrhea

The types of dehydration
According to the osmolarity of remainder of body
fluid followed dehydration, the dehydration can be
divided into three types:
–Isotonic, Isotonic,
–hypotonic hypotonic
–hypertonic hypertonic dehydration.
During diarrhea, both water and electrolyte are
lost but may not be proportional. The three types of
dehydration may be classified by the serum sodium
concentration, because sodium is the main component
of ECF.
