Disease Features fluid overload

Absence or low individual and public risk

Fluid overload - what does this mean

Fluid overload occurs when the body has too much fluid in its circulatory system, which can lead to an increase in blood pressure and the inability of the heart to pump enough blood to the body's organs. it can be caused by a variety of factors, including medications, kidney failure, heart failure, and other medical conditions.

What happens during the disease - fluid overload

Fluid overload occurs when there is an imbalance between the amount of fluid entering and leaving the body. this imbalance can be caused by a variety of factors, including increased intake of fluids, decreased excretion of fluids, and abnormal retention of fluids in the body. fluid overload can lead to a variety of symptoms, including swelling, weight gain, shortness of breath, and increased fatigue. in severe cases, it can lead to heart failure, pulmonary edema, and even death.

Clinical Pattern

Fluid overload is a condition in which the body has too much fluid, including water, electrolytes, and other substances, in the bloodstream. Symptoms can include swelling of the hands, feet, and face, shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, and confusion. Treatment typically involves the use of diuretics to reduce the amount of fluid in the body, and other medications to reduce symptoms.

How does a doctor diagnose

Assess patient's medical history and symptoms
Perform physical exam
Order laboratory tests (e.g. electrolytes, BUN/creatinine, CBC, urinalysis)
Order imaging studies (e.g. X-ray, CT scan, echocardiogram)
Perform pulmonary function tests
Evaluate cardiac output and volume status
Monitor urine output

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: Reduce fluid overload.

Monitor fluid intake and output
Encourage adequate hydration
Administer diuretics as prescribed
Monitor electrolyte levels
Administer medications to reduce fluid retention
Provide oxygen therapy as needed
Monitor vital signs
Provide nutritional support
Provide emotional support

15 Days of Hospitalization Required

Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established

Fluid overload - Prevention

Fluid overload prevention includes maintaining adequate hydration, monitoring fluid intake and output, avoiding over-hydration, and avoiding medications that cause fluid retention. additionally, avoiding diuretics and monitoring the patient's weight can help prevent fluid overload.
