Summary

None

Purpose of change

It seems there's no supporting evidence for blood being hydrating or quenchy.
Basically between the salt and iron present in blood, it requires more water to flush excesses of these substances from the body than is taken in by drinking blood.

Describe the solution

Remove the quench value. There's no strong evidence of exactly where the balance lies, so not setting it either positive or negative, just neutral.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Model the vitamins and such, and have commensurate costs for eliminating them, seems overcomplicated.
It seems reasonable to (if not useful) to centerfuge the blood to extract plasma, which would be hydrating, but that's kind of meh.

If blood really has no vitamins how are vampires supposed to get vitamin D?

They aren't, that's why vampires are stereotypically pale and sickly.
