Dehydration refers to the lack of the necessary amount of water in the body. Water is the principal constituent of all living beings, and lack of water can disrupt almost all body functions. Dehydration can occur if there is less water intake or greater fluid loss from the body. It is a common condition and occurs mildly in almost all humans due to certain physiological or environmental factors. However, there are some diseases and conditions in which extreme water loss leads to severe dehydration. Such cases require immediate medical attention as they may prove to be lethal if not treated properly within the given period.
