Hypotonic dehydration Hypotonic dehydration is the loss of solvent from the ECF exceeds fluid loss, resulting in blood vessels become more concentrated. ECF osmotic pressure decreases, resulting in fluid moves from the ECF to ICF. Vascular volume also decreased, as well as cell swelling occurs. c. Hypertonic dehydration Hypertonic dehydration is ECF fluid loss exceeds the solvent is non-osmotic dehydration ECF decreased, resulting in fluid moves from ICF to ECF. Etiology Various causes dehydratio...
