   So, surely, does having IV saline - either way they add to the surplus liquid in the blood that will get eliminated via the kidneys - so if you mean needing to pee a lot, surely an equal quantity of liquid will need to be peed whether it comes IV or by mouth
   
   Or have I misunderstood your point?

   I think timescale and quantity may be different ( but i don' t know).
   My aunt is bedbound and juggles dehydration with hydration. She is limited to the quantity of liquid she can drink . Even peeing is knackering

   Absolutely, but I assume you are referring to having to pee all the time and of course IV would do the same. (Sorry Trish got there first).
