This article is about the physiological volume contraction. For other uses, see apparent molar property.
Volume contraction is a decrease in the volume of body fluid, including the dissolved substances that maintain osmotic balance (osmolytes). The loss of the water component of body fluid is specifically termed dehydration.[1]
