salt-losing crisis (syndrome)

vomiting, dehydration, hypotension, and sudden death due to very large sodium losses from the body (see salt wasting). It may be seen in abnormal losses of sodium into the urine (as in congenital adrenal hyperplasia, adrenocortical insufficiency, or one of the forms of salt-losing nephritis) or in large extrarenal sodium losses, usually from the gastrointestinal tract.
