Can just a one-off blood test show dehydration?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More data: Blood and urine testing can help confirm a diagnosis of dehydration, but it is also dependent on the physical exam and history of the patient. Using just the lab result alone, it would be difficult to confidently say that a patient was dehydrated.
