Hypovolemia

Hypovolemia is a condition of the body in which the volume of blood and other internal fluids is significantly reduced. This can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as blood loss or fluid loss due to vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating, insufficient fluid intake, and certain medical conditions such as heart failure or cirrhosis of the liver.

Hypovolemia can lead to low blood pressure, impaired heart and lung function, and other serious complications. Therefore, it is important to quickly recognize hypovolemia and take steps to treat it.

One of the main symptoms of hypovolemia is a decrease in circulating blood volume. This manifests itself in the form of dizziness, weakness, drowsiness, pale skin, rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing. In addition, pain in the chest, abdomen and other parts of the body may occur, as well as nausea and vomiting.

To diagnose hypovolemia, it is necessary to conduct a general blood test, blood pressure measurement and other studies. Treatment should be aimed at restoring the volume of blood and fluid in the body. Depending on the cause of hypovolemia, various drugs and treatments may be prescribed, such as intravenous fluids, blood transfusions, or diuretics.

It is important to remember that hypovolemia is a serious condition that can lead to serious complications if not recognized and treated promptly. Therefore, if symptoms of hypovolemia appear, you should immediately consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Hypovolemia is a condition of the body in which it is unable to fully carry out its basic physiological functions. This occurs due to a decrease in blood volume in the body or a disturbance in its composition. The disorder is the result of fluid redistribution in the body. The common cause of hypovolemia is massive bleeding, but often the disorder occurs when there is a decrease in fluid volumes caused by overheating of the body, vomiting, diarrhea and the development of liver pathologies. If the body does not receive enough fluids in this volume intravenously, it reduces their rate of entry from the bloodstream. As a result, a person feels very thirsty, but does not drink willingly.
