Hydration assessment
Hydration assessment is the process of evaluating how well your body maintains the right balance of fluids. It involves checking factors like skin elasticity, blood tests, urine color, and frequency of urination to determine if you're adequately hydrated. Proper hydration is essential for many bodily functions, including circulation, temperature regulation, and organ health. Healthcare professionals use these assessments to identify dehydration or overhydration, ensuring you stay in optimal fluid balance for overall health and well-being.
