  2. Insensible perspiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insensible_perspiration

    Insensible perspiration, also known as transepidermal water loss, is the passive vapour diffusion of water through the epidermis. Insensible perspiration takes place at an almost constant rate and reflects evaporative loss from the epithelial cells of the skin. [1] Unlike sweating, the lost fluid is pure without additional solutes. For this ...

  3. Fluid balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_balance

    These are termed "insensible fluid losses" as they cannot be easily measured. Some sources say insensible losses account for 500 to 650 ml/day (0.5 to 0.6 qt.) of water in adults, [12] [14] while other sources put the minimum value at 800 ml (0.8 qt.). [15] In children, one calculation used for insensible fluid loss is 400 ml/m 2 body surface area.

  4. Dehydration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehydration

    Excess free water or hypotonic water can leave the body in two ways – sensible loss such as osmotic diuresis, sweating, vomiting and diarrhea, and insensible water loss, occurring mainly through the skin and respiratory tract. In humans, dehydration can be caused by a wide range of diseases and states that impair water homeostasis in the body ...

  7. Transepidermal water loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transepidermal_water_loss

    Web corpus searches show that the acronym TEWL is about 40 times more common than TWL in reference to transepidermal water loss. A large advantage of TEWL is that it has higher specificity to that sense than does TWL, which has more alternative senses, including, most importantly, two other senses having to do with evaporation of body water: thermal work limit (TWL), which is the highest ...

    John C. Young, who oversees the water and sewer board in Prichard, Alabama, calls it being stuck "between a rock and a hard place." That community loses roughly 60% of its treated water.

  9. Hypovolemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypovolemia

    In children, compensation can result in an artificially high blood pressure despite hypovolemia (a decrease in blood volume). Children typically are able to compensate (maintain blood pressure despite hypovolemia) for a longer period than adults, but deteriorate rapidly and severely once they are unable to compensate ( decompensate ).
