What is a dehydrated kidney and what can i do about it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A vague term: The exact term is dehydrated body. The term means a body that is low on water. The term is used loosely. To be accurate, the sodium level should increase. Regardless, what you have probably heard suggests that the body needs more water intake to avoid slowing down kidney work.
