About Hypervolemia

Hypervolemia is not a medical procedure but a clinical condition characterized by an excessive volume of fluid in the blood, often referred to as fluid overload. It is managed by internal medicine specialists who diagnose and treat the underlying cause. Treatment focuses on carefully reducing the fluid volume to relieve symptoms like swelling, shortness of breath, and high blood pressure, while correcting the root issue, which may involve heart, kidney, or liver dysfunction. Management is tailored to the individual and typically involves a combination of dietary sodium restriction, diuretic medications, and, in severe cases, procedures like therapeutic phlebotomy or ultrafiltration to remove excess fluid safely and restore balance.
