The presented case is one of severe dehydration and acute kidney injury with significant resultant complications that required considerable fluid and electrolyte replacement. Approaches to fluid resuscitation in the context of hypernatraemia and the hyperosmolar state were considered and then judiciously combined to manage a complex case with a successful outcome. Conflicting guidance in this domain is discussed with recommendations for a future management strategy that is tailored to individual patients.
