− | ===Too Little Water===
| |
− | | |
− | * Inadequate perfusion due to low blood volume
| |
− | * A build up of waste products due to insufficent urine volume
| |
− | * Increased solute concentrations affect cell function
| |
− | * Inability to sweat and control body temperature
| |
− | * Death
| |

− | ===Too Much Water===
| |
− | | |
− | * Oedema
| |
− | * Increased blood volume and therefore pressure could damage the CVS
| |
− | * A decrease in solute concentrations disrupt normal cell function
