Reply to comment by [deleted] in ELI5: If drinking salt water further dehydrates the body, why is saline used to treated dehydration? by Dartualexmachina
No, to be actually hydrated you need to consume salts that include sodium, calcium, potassium, chloride, phosphate, and magnesium. If your diet is deficient in that and all you drink is H2O/water then you will still be dehydrated while urinating a lot.
In fact, for your kidneys to function properly they need to basically be full of sodium.
