The intestines and kidney are the most important excretion organs. Both organ systems are key players in keeping the homeostatic balance regarding hydration and electrolytes. Disturbances of function can lead to enormous and sometimes life-threatening complications. Intestinal diseases lead often to diarrhoea, which can be associated with fluid loss of up to 20 l per day. The accompanying electrolyte disturbances can be hypo- or hypernatremia in combination with hypokalemia. The therapy is substitution guided by knowledge of the pathophysiology. Kidney diseases lead to excessive volume and electrolyte balances, depending on the underlying molecular or pathological defect, but deficiencies can also be found. In case of kidney impairment with 30-50% total loss of function, calcium and phosphate metabolism is impaired.

Between 20 and 70 percent of the 50 million people who travel from the industrialized world to the developing world each year report some illness associated with their travel. Approximately 3 percent of people traveling internationally for short periods (<2 weeks) report fever even after travel. Careful assessment of the travel history, likely incubation period, exposure history, associated signs and symptoms, duration of fever, immunization status use or nonuse of antimalarial chemoprophylaxis, and degree of compliance with a chemoprophylactic regimen, if used, helps to establish the diagnosis. Determining an approximate incubation period can be particular helpful in ruling out possible causes of fever. Specific examinations targeting the individual infection, assumed to be responsible for the development of febrile disease may ascertain diagnosis and lead to effective treatment.
