Relative hypervolemia?

summary

Relative hypervolemia? Hypervolemia is a condition in which there is too much fluid in the blood. It is also known as fluid overload. Although the body does need a lot of fluid to stay healthy, too much can lead to dangerous imbalances.

Relative hypervolemia?

High blood volume is usually the result of potential health problems. However, after eating too much sodium or hormonal foods, mild hypervolemia may occur. Mild hypervolemia usually resolves itself if there are no other health problems. Early detection of high blood volume can be cured, but the root cause of high blood volume should be solved to prevent recurrence.

Hypervolemia usually occurs because the body has problems regulating sodium and water, while other causes include certain medications or medical procedures. Congestive heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot deliver enough blood to meet the needs of the body. When the heart's ability to draw blood is reduced, the kidney can't work as it is, resulting in excessive fluid in the body.

A review points out that high blood volume is relatively common in people with severe kidney disease, and it is also common in hospital intensive care units. According to the authors of the study, health care workers are very careful to monitor the body fluid levels of these people, because excessive blood volume can lead to congestive heart failure, wound healing problems and intestinal problems.

matters needing attention

When someone is dehydrated or can't drink enough fluid, such as intravenous (IV) fluid, it can save lives. Intravenous fluids usually contain sodium (salt) and water to replenish the body's fluid and balance sodium levels. However, excessive intravenous infusion can lead to excessive blood volume, especially in other health conditions.
