Probably not: In general, dehydration should cause blood tests to be abnormally high as the serum is concentrated. This is almost impossible to research, but is my considered opinion. It is difficult to see how dehydration can lower any blood test.

Dr. Mahmood Khichianswered
Pediatric Critical Care 31 years experience
Yes: Dehydration can result in low blood volume or hypovolemia, which affects tissue perfusion and oxygenetion. The tissues are stressed and produce acids that spill into blood, which cause acidity in the blood. The extent of acidity can be tested and give an idea of the severity of the dehydration.

Please help! what is the effects of dehydration and how long does it take for it to occur?

Dr. Jack Rubinanswered
Nephrology and Dialysis 48 years experience
Dehydration: The effects of mild dehydration (D) are weakness and dizziness. More severe D effects are passing out. The time D takes to cause these symptoms is variable. If a patient has repeated nausea and vomiting, or excessive fluid losses, the time for symptoms to occur is more rapid than if the patient were merely denied access to fluids and how well hydrated the patient was before the D started.
