Honolulu Dehydration Treatment - Doctors of Waikiki

Dehydration is a condition that results from the excessive loss of water from the body. It can affect anyone at any age, but it’s particularly dangerous for infants and the elderly. While mild dehydration is generally treatable by drinking fluids and replenishing electrolytes, severe dehydration can lead to serious health complications and requires immediate medical attention.

About 65% of adult males’ body mass is composed of water, which is essential for critical bodily functions like blood circulation, kidney function, and sweating. When the body loses too much fluid, these processes are disrupted, causing cells to dry out and malfunction. Symptoms of dehydration include dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness, and decreased urine output. Doctors of Waikiki’s urgent care center are equipped to handle dehydration cases promptly and efficiently.

At Doctors of Waikiki, we offer comprehensive dehydration treatment services tailored to meet the needs of our Honolulu community. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatments of dehydration can help you stay healthy and know when to seek professional care.
