Severe dehydration can result from various factors, including:
Excessive Sweating: High temperatures and strenuous activities can lead to significant fluid loss. Diarrhea and Vomiting: Gastrointestinal conditions can cause rapid fluid depletion. Inadequate Fluid Intake: Not drinking enough water, especially in hot climates or during illness. Fever: Elevated body temperature increases fluid loss through sweat. Certain Medications: Diuretics and some other medications may increase urine output, contributing to dehydration.
