Oct 20, 07 - 2:17 AM 		another simple home test for dehydration - skin turgor

Hi Bob
Besides the hydrometer, here is another simple home test for dehydration to share with everyone. It is taken from a website which has a very nice picture showing how it is done.

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003281.htm
Skin turgor is a sign commonly used by health care workers to assess the degree of fluid loss or dehydration. Fluid loss can occur from common conditions, such as diarrhea or vomiting. Infants and young children with vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased or no fluid intake can rapidly lose a significant amount of fluid. Fever accelerates this process.
The skin on the back of the hand, lower arm, or abdomen is grasped between two fingers so that it is tented up. The skin is held for a few seconds then released. Skin with normal turgor snaps rapidly back to its normal position. Skin with decreased turgor remains elevated and returns slowly to its normal position.
Decreased skin turgor is a late sign in dehydration. It is associated with moderate to severe dehydration. Fluid loss of 5% of the body weight is considered mild dehydration, 10% is moderate and 15% or more is severe dehydration.

The skin turgor to assess dehydration is a criteria being used to classify Acute Dehydration not Chronic Dehydration. For non-healthcare worker, the most easy way to gauge whether you are well hydrated is the color of the urine. It should be light. To avoid water intoxication, one of the ways to figure out is your water intake equals urine output, more or less and don't forget your salt as per Dr.B and B.
