Assessing hydration levels in a clinical setting is essential to avoid health issues. When patients lack adequate fluids, their bodies cannot operate correctly, resulting in risks such as kidney malfunction, electrolyte imbalances, and sepsis. Assessing hydration levels can be complicated when the patient is unable to communicate their health status. This can result in additional clinical risks when over or under-hydration conditions cannot be determined quickly using non-invasive methods. Dehydration can impede a patient's capability to combat infections and heighten the chances of developing pressure ulcers or additional complications.
