Nesteytystaso
Nesteytystaso is a clinical concept describing the body's current water balance and distribution among body compartments, reflecting fluid intake, losses, and regulatory processes. It is influenced by age, health status, and environmental conditions, and is used to assess hydration-related risks and guide fluid therapy.
In practice, nesteytystaso is categorized as normohydration (euhydration), hypohydration (dehydration), or hyperhydration (overhydration). The exact thresholds
Assessment methods include physical examination (skin turgor, mucous membranes, tear production, capillary refill), vital signs (orthostatic
Clinical use and management: Determining nesteytystaso helps identify fluid deficits or excess, guide fluid resuscitation or
Limitations: Hydration status is dynamic and influenced by recent intake, medications, and illness; no single measure
