Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Hypotonic hydration (positive water balance or water intoxication): Water is retained more than sodium ions, and the extracellular fluid becomes a hypotonic condition. This condition is observed when there is loss of more water and salt from the body through urine and sweat, and replacement is done only by drinking water. Without intake of proper electrolytes and hypersection of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) can cause hypotonic hydration.
