A medical condition characterized by abnormal loss of water from the blood, leading to dehydration and reduced blood volume.
From Greek 'an-' (without) + 'hydro' (water) + '-emia' (condition of the blood). It literally describes a state where blood loses its water content.
Marathon runners and people in extreme heat can experience anhydremia—their blood becomes dangerously concentrated, which is why drinking water is critical for survival in deserts!
