dehydration?

Question

can a person become dehydrated with no fluide intake for 24 hours. would it be severe

Answer 1

Yes, as soon as someone begins to feel thirsty, your body is telling you you are dehydrated. What would "severe" mean? You can live without water I think for 4 or 5 days. After 2 or 3 days I'm sure you would start to damage your kidneys/liver. After 4 or 5 days your kidneys and liver begin to fail and you die. Our bodies are something like 80% water. You need it to survive.

Answer 2

Yes, you can become dehydrated with out any fluid intake in 24 hours. Also, yes it can be severe, sometimes you can just drink water and it will be gone, but then sometimes you need rushed to a hospital to get IV fluids. It can kill you.

Answer 3

Dehydration means loss of fluid from the body.A dehydrated person without intake of fluid for 24 hours--would face severe problem of life and even death.

Answer 4

Yes, a person can become dehydrated in 24 hours. Some of the symptoms of dehydration are as follows:

1. Yellow urine (believe it or not very yellow urine is an early sign of dehydration)
2. Dry or sticky mouth
3. not producing tears
4. Sunken Eyes
5. Lethargic or comatose (with severe dehydration)

Answer 5

Side affects of dehydration-----electrolytes get thrown off balance, you can get dizzy and even pass out. If it is a particularly warm day and you sweat (loosing MORE fluid), you will become VERY ill, possibly fall victim to SUN STROKE if you are outside any length of time.....you could get KIDNEY FAILURE, you would become SEVERELY constipated--which could cause stomach problems as well as colon and bowel problems... and, you could DIE.... your body NEEDS fluids to run properly---depriving it of these fluids is not a smart thing to do.... if someone is dehydrating THEMSELVES ON PURPOSE, it is a FOOLISH thing to do!!!!!

Answer 6

yes, you would become dehydrated, but no it would not be severe for only a 24 hour period. Your body has reserves.

Answer 7

That would be a definite yes, although the body is capable of handling w/out food or water for almost 7 days. Is it advise able absolutely not. You can encounter fatigue, become delirious and do damage to the kidney heart etc...why would you do that. Our bodies are made up of 80% water!
