The 47 pages that link to Oral rehydration therapy, each with the reason it gives.

• GlucoseRelated: Glucose enables intestinal sodium uptake, helping drive water absorption.

• DehydrationRelated: It replaces fluid and salts, especially during diarrheal illness.

• Sodium chlorideRelated: Its solutions include sodium chloride to replace sodium lost in diarrhea.

• CholeraRelated: It treats most cholera dehydration by exploiting intestinal glucose-sodium absorption.

• Oral administrationRelated: It uses oral absorption to replace fluid and electrolytes during diarrhea.

• Potassium ionRelated: Its formulations can replace potassium lost through diarrhea or dehydration.

• Fecal–oral routeBroader topic: It treats a major consequence of enteric infections without interrupting transmission itself.

• Intestinal absorptionRelated: Sodium-glucose cotransport can remain effective during many diarrheal illnesses, promoting water uptake.

• Antibiotic-associated diarrheaRelated: Fluid and electrolyte replacement addresses the main immediate risk of significant diarrhea.

• Intravenous fluid therapyCompared with: It can treat many fluid losses without venous access when the patient can drink and absorb fluids.

• OndansetronRelated: In acute vomiting, symptom control can help some patients tolerate oral fluids.

• Dengue feverRelated: Careful hydration helps prevent deterioration during uncomplicated dengue.

• DiarrheaRelated: It prevents or treats fluid loss without needing to stop diarrhea first.

• GastroenteritisRelated: It restores fluid absorption during diarrheal illness without requiring intravenous treatment in many cases.

• GiardiasisRelated: It helps prevent dehydration when giardiasis causes substantial diarrhea.

• MalabsorptionRelated: It treats fluid losses from diarrhea that may accompany malabsorptive disorders.

• UNICEFRelated: UNICEF promoted its use as a simple, low-cost way to prevent deaths from childhood diarrhea.

• VomitingRelated: Replacing fluid and salts helps prevent dehydration when vomiting accompanies fluid loss.

• CryptosporidiosisRelated: It treats dehydration caused by the illness’s watery diarrhea.

• Extracellular fluidRelated: Its absorbed water and salts replenish extracellular fluid during diarrheal losses.

• Facilitated diffusionRelated: Its effectiveness depends partly on sodium–glucose cotransport, distinct from facilitated diffusion.

• Typhoid feverRelated: Supportive fluid replacement can address losses during febrile intestinal illness.

• EnterocyteRelated: It exploits sodium-glucose cotransport that remains functional in many diarrheal illnesses.

• Infant mortalityRelated: It can prevent deaths from dehydration caused by diarrheal disease.

• SalmonellosisRelated: It treats the dehydration that diarrhea from salmonellosis can cause.

• Vibrio choleraeRelated: It prevents death from dehydration even while cholera diarrhea continues.

• Cholera toxinRelated: It counters fluid loss while preserving the intestinal sodium-glucose uptake pathway despite toxin activity.

• DysenteryRelated: Replacing fluid losses is central to preventing complications from dysentery-related diarrhea.

• Osmotic diarrheaRelated: Even during diarrhea, coupled glucose and sodium absorption supports fluid replacement.

• ShigellaRelated: It prevents dehydration during shigellosis, even when antibiotics are not used.

• Sports drinkCompared with: Medical rehydration solutions use carefully specified formulations unlike many exercise drinks.

• Coconut waterCompared with: Coconut water is not a standardized substitute for oral rehydration solution.

• Cyclic vomiting syndromeRelated: A written episode plan may use it when fluids can be kept down.

• LoperamideRelated: It addresses fluid loss directly; loperamide can ease stools but does not replace rehydration.

• Rotavirus vaccineCompared with: Vaccination prevents severe illness; rehydration treats fluid loss when diarrhea occurs.

• Zinc sulfateRelated: Zinc sulfate is often given alongside rehydration salts for childhood diarrhea.

• GatoradeCompared with: Its medically calibrated formula serves a different purpose from ordinary sports drinks.

• Herpetic gingivostomatitisRelated: Painful mouth lesions can reduce drinking and lead to dehydration, particularly in children.

• Trisodium citrateRelated: Trisodium citrate is used in some oral rehydration formulations to supply sodium and citrate.

• Disodium citrateRelated: Citrate salts are used in some oral rehydration formulations as a source of base and sodium.

• NitazoxanideCompared with: It treats dehydration from diarrhea but does not eradicate parasites as nitazoxanide is intended to do.

• UrophagiaCompared with: It is a tested approach to dehydration, unlike drinking urine.

• Fluids and SecretionsRelated: It restores fluid lost through diarrhea by exploiting intestinal nutrient transport.

• History of choleraRelated: Its adoption made cholera far more treatable without relying on disputed nineteenth-century remedies.

• Magnesium citrateCompared with: Unlike rehydration solutions, laxative doses can increase intestinal water loss.

• Morning sicknessRelated: Small, frequent sips can help replace fluid lost through vomiting.

• Transport (biology)Related: It exploits coupled sodium and glucose uptake to restore water balance.
