blood volume expansion

Blood volume expansion refers to an increase in the amount of blood circulating through the body. This can happen naturally, such as during pregnancy or after hydration, or artificially, through medical treatments like IV fluids. When blood volume expands, it helps improve circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues. It can also reduce blood viscosity, making the heart's work easier. However, excessive expansion may strain the heart and blood vessels. Overall, maintaining a healthy blood volume is essential for proper organ function and overall health.
