Symptoms Of Hypervolemia
October 2, 2018
Hypervolemia is a condition where the levels of fluid in the body, including the fluid part of the blood, are too high. Hypervolemia is rarely a stand-alone condition but a sign something else is wrong. These disorders include heart failure in the right ventricle, cirrhosis, kidney failure, and nephrotic syndrome, which happens when too much protein is excreted in the urine. Hypervolemia can also occur in the days before a woman’s menstrual period or during pregnancy. If hypervolemia goes untreated, it can make it hard for wounds to heal, cause tissue to break down, damage the heart, and interfere with bowel function.
