Is Dehydration Intracellular Or Extracellular? Most of the fluid deficit during the early stages of dehydration is from the extracellular space, but over time, the fluid losses equilibrate, and fluid leaves the intracellular space. What happens to extracellular fluid during dehydration? In dehydration, fluid from the extracellular compartment is depleted first, followed by fluid from
