Description
Author: Nick Hatch, MD Educational Pearls: The sodium-glucose cotransporter in the gut is essential for rehydration. Oral rehydration therapies require an equimolar concentration of glucose and sodium to be effective. ORT has saved millions of lives globally. Consider using ORT in patients with dehydration. Especially useful in resource limited settings. References: Victora CG, Bryce J, Fontaine O, Monasch R. Reducing deaths from diarrhoea through oral rehydration therapy.
