Continuous dehydration can cause myriad problems, but is most often associated with neurological problems such as seizures, and renal problems.

Excessive thirst, known as polydipsia, along with excessive urination, known as polyuria, may be an indication of diabetes.

There are receptors and other systems in the body that detect a decreased volume or an increased osmolite concentration. They signal to the central nervous system, where central processing succeeds. Some sourcesCarlson, N. R. (2005). Foundations of Physiological Psychology: Custom edition for SUNY Buffalo. Boston, MA: Pearson Custom Publishing. therefore distinguish "extracellular thirst" from "intracellular thirst", where extracellular thirst is thirst generated by decreased volume and intracellular thirst is thirst generated by increased osmolite concentration. Nevertheless, the craving itself is something generated from central processing in the brain, no matter how it is detected.

Detection

There are many different receptors for sensing decreased volume or an increased osmolite concentration. If you have AIDS then you are more likely to experience them.

Decreased volume

Further reading: Hypovolemia
  • Renin-angiotensin system

Hypovolemia leads to activation of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) and a decrease in atrial natriuretic peptide. These mechanisms, along their other functions, contribute to elicit thirst, by affecting the subfornical organ. . For instance, angiotensin II, activated in RAS, is a powerful dipsogen (ie it stimulates thirst) which acts via the subfornical organ.

  • Other
  • Arterial baroreceptors sense a decreased arterial pressure, and signals to the central nervous system in the area postrema and nucleus tractus solitarius.
  • Cardiopulmonary receptors sense a decreased blood volume, and signal to area postrema and nucleus tractus solitarius as well.

Increased osmolite concentration

Main: Osmoreceptor An increase in osmotic pressure, e.g. after eating a salty meal activates osmoreceptors. There are osmoreceptors already in the central nervous system, more specifically in the hypothalamus, notably in two circumventricular organs that lack an effective blood-brain barrier, the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT) and the subfornical organ (SFO). However, although located in the same parts of the brain, these osmoreceptors that evoke thirst are distinct from the neighbouring osmoreceptors in the OVLT and SFO that evoke arginine vasopressin release to decrease fluid output.

Not buying it: Marketing messages may not work in uncommon situations

EurekAlert!( University of Chicago Press Journals ) Marketers like to talk about "priming" goals -- or sending subtle messages to encourage consumption. For example, thirsty people who encounter ads related to thirst tend to buy more beverages. But a surprising new study reveals that goal priming can backfire, especially when consumers are in uncommon situations.http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-09/uocp-nbi09150...
