The signs of mild to moderate dehydration include dry mouth and skin, fatigue and muscle weakness, decreased urine output, deep yellow (concentrated) urine, headache, and dizziness. As dehydration progresses, solute concentrations in the blood rise, blood pressure decreases, and heart rate increases due to low blood volume. If fluid losses continue, kidney failure, seizures, delirium, and coma can occur.
