In physiology and medicine dehydration (hypohydration) is the excessive loss of body water with an accompanying disruption of metabolic processes. It is literally the removal of water (Ancient Greek: ὕδωρ hýdōr) from an object; however in physiological terms it entails a deficiency of fluid within an organism. Dehydration of skin and mucous membranes can be called medical dryness.Dehydration occurs when water loss in the body exceeds the water intake.
