Patients presenting with orthostatic hypotension and normal plasma sodium concentrations are frequently admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of dehydration. If they are fortunate, they receive fluids containing sodium chloride instead of free water to correct obvious extracellular fluid volume depletion. Confusing this diagnosis highlights the growing and pernicious habit of using the terms dehydration and volume depletion interchangeably at the bedside when the two describe clearly…

These investigators clearly showed that an increase in plasma osmotic pressure as small as 1 to 2 per cent by the intracarotid injection of hypertonic saline causes the release of an amount of vasopressin capable of dramatically decreasing renal water excretion.
