  2. Hypervolemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervolemia

    Hypervolemia, also known as fluid overload, is the medical condition where there is too much fluid in the blood. The opposite condition is hypovolemia, which is too little fluid volume in the blood. Fluid volume excess in the intravascular compartment occurs due to an increase in total body sodium content and a consequent increase in ...

    [3] [27] The final step in treatment is to calculate the patients free water deficit, and to replace it at a steady rate using a combination of oral or IV fluids. [3] [27] The rate of replacement of fluids varies depending on how long the patient has been hypernatremic. Lowering the sodium level too quickly can cause cerebral edema. [27]

    The thinking is that the fluid overload can help mitigate the negative effects of dehydration on performance—including fatigue, cramps, a higher heart rate, and more—which can start as soon as ...

  5. Intravascular volume status - Wikipedia

    The machine was tested in clinical studies for the treatment of a broad range of medical conditions related to Intravascular Volume Status, such as anemia, [4] congestive heart failure, [5] sepsis, [6] CFS, [7] Hyponatremia, [8] Syncope [9] and more.

  6. Fluid balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_balance

    The majority of fluid output occurs via the urine, approximately 1500 ml/day (approx 1.59 qt/day) in the normal adult resting state. [12] [13] Some fluid is lost through perspiration (part of the body's temperature control mechanism) and as water vapor in exhaled air. These are termed "insensible fluid losses" as they cannot be easily measured.

  7. Pulmonary edema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_edema

    Cardiogenic pulmonary edema is typically caused by either volume overload or impaired left ventricular function. As a result, pulmonary venous pressures rises from the normal average of 15 mmHg. [13] As the pulmonary venous pressure rises, these pressures overwhelm the barriers and fluid enters the alveoli when the pressure is above 25 mmHg. [14]

  8. Volume contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_contraction

    Na + loss approximately correlates with fluid loss from ECF, since Na + has a much higher concentration in ECF than ICF. In contrast, K + has a much higher concentration in ICF than ECF, and therefore its loss rather correlates with fluid loss from ICF, since K + loss from ECF causes the K + in ICF to diffuse out of the cells, dragging water with it by osmosis.

  9. Aquapheresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquapheresis

    Aquapheresis is a medical technology designed to remove excess salt and water from the body safely, predictably, and effectively from patients with a condition called fluid overload. It removes the excess salt and water and helps to restore a patient's proper fluid balance, which is called euvolemia.
