Doctor Questions Kidney Infections

What are the most common IV fluids given in a hospital?

I went to the hospital for a kidney infection and I was also really dehydrated. I was given fluids during my hospital stay, and it made me feel better rather quickly. I'm just wondering, what are the most common IV fluids used in the hospital? Because they didn't really tell me while I was there.

You probably got salt water with or without dextrose (sugar), or just sugar water alone.
