Dehydration: Introduction & Symptoms, Onhealth:"Dehydration occurs when the amount of water in the body falls below normal, which, in turn, disrupts the balance of sugars and salts (electrolytes) in the body. Many factors can lead to dehydration, including vomiting or diarrhea, bleeding, certain medications and a variety of diseases. Infants, young children and the elderly are particularly sensitive to the effects of dehydration and may become dehydrated rapidly. Left untreated, dehydration can result in shock and then death."

Dehydration, Why it is so dangerous, World Health Organization:"Dehydration is the loss of water and salts from the body. The human body needs water to maintain enough blood and other fluids to function properly. Along with the fluids, the body also needs electrolytes, which are salts normally found in blood, other fluids, and cells."

About Oral Rehydration Therapy:"Each year, about three million children under the age of five die from dehydration. Most of these deaths are preventable through early use of oral rehydration therapy. Oral rehydration therapy is a safe, effective and inexpensive method of preventing dehydration and loss of electrolytes. In the U.S., dehydration is a significant hidden cause of preventable hospitalization and infant deaths."
