An inspection of the oral cavity can yield useful insight into a patient's hydration status. A dry oral mucosa and dry furrowed tongue are good indicators of dehydration. Healthcare professionals and caregivers should be cautioned that patients who are taking certain medications (such as anticholinergic drugs) may have dry oral mucosas in the absence of dehydration.

Causes of hyperproteinemia?
Typically, this condition is a sign of severe or chronic dehydration. Chronic dehydration needs to be treated with zinc as well as with water. Zinc reduces cell swelling caused by decreased intake of water (hypotonicity) and also increases retention of salt. In the dehydrated state, the body has too high an osmolarity and, it appears, discards zinc to prevent this. Zinc also regulates transport of the cellular osmolyte taurine, and albumin is known to increase cellular taurine absorption. Zinc has been shown to increase retinol (vitamin A) production from beta-carotene, and in lab experiments retinol reduced human albumin production.It is possible that a retinol (vitamin A) deficiency alone could cause albumin levels to become raised. Patients recovering from chronic dehydration may develop dry eyes as the body uses up its vitamin A store. It is interesting to note that retinol causes cells to swell with water (this is likely one reason that too much vitamin A is toxic). Hyperalbuminemia is also associated with high protein diets.
