| − | ====Too Little Water====
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Inadequate perfusion due to low blood volume
| |
| − | * A build up of waste products due to insufficient 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
