Hypervolemia

Hypervolemia is an abnormal increase in the volume of blood circulating in the body.

With hypervolemia, excess blood volume accumulates in the vascular system. This leads to increased venous pressure and dilution of blood plasma.

The main causes of hypervolemia include:

  1. Excessive fluid intake

  2. Impaired excretion of fluid by the kidneys

  3. Excessive administration of plasma replacement solutions

  4. Sodium and water retention in chronic heart failure

  5. Renal salt wasting syndrome

The main symptoms of hypervolemia:

  1. Edema, including peripheral and pulmonary

  2. Dyspnea

  3. Weight gain

  4. Increased blood pressure

  5. Tachycardia

To treat hypervolemia, diuretics and limiting fluid and salt intake are used. In severe cases, hemodialysis may be required. With timely treatment, the prognosis for hypervolemia is favorable.



Hypervolemia is a condition in which the volume of blood in the body exceeds normal. This can be caused by various reasons, such as an increase in fluid volume in the body, increased levels of hormones that affect blood volume, or disruption of the heart and blood vessels.

Hypervolemia can have various symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling, headache, nausea and others. If hypervolemia is not treated, it can lead to serious complications such as heart failure, stroke, and even death.

To treat hypervolemia, it is necessary to determine the cause of its occurrence and carry out appropriate treatment. In some cases, hospitalization and intensive care may be required.

It is important to remember that hypervolemia is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. If you notice any symptoms of this disease, seek medical help as soon as possible.



Hypervolemia, or increased blood viscosity, can be caused by many reasons, including heart, lung and kidney disease, metabolic problems, dehydration and other illnesses. Some of them include:

Infections: For illnesses such as flu, sore throat, bronchitis and pneumonia, some of the symptoms may include fatigue, shortness of breath, fever and bleeding from the nose or throat.

Diabetes: Diabetes is a disease that causes high blood glucose levels, which can lead to health complications such as hypervolemia.

Drinking alcohol: Alcohol can cause hypervolemia as it dilates blood vessels and increases the volume of blood in the body. Excessive salt intake: Salt stimulates the loss of water from the body, which can reduce fluid levels, thereby increasing the volume of circulating blood.
