fluid imbalance

Fluid imbalance occurs when the body has too much or too little fluid, affecting how organs and tissues function. This can happen due to illness, dehydration, or medical conditions that alter how the body manages water and electrolytes. Symptoms might include swelling, dizziness, or dehydration. Proper balance is essential for maintaining blood pressure, transporting nutrients, and waste removal. Treatment depends on the cause and may involve increasing fluids, controlling fluid intake, or medication. Maintaining a healthy fluid balance is crucial for overall health and proper body function.
