Study Notes
Hypervolemia
- Also known as fluid volume excess (FVE)
- Primary cause: excessive fluid intake or retention due to heart failure, kidney failure, or liver disease
- Contributing factors: excessive IV fluid administration, hormonal imbalance, and excessive sodium intake
- Serum sodium concentration: decreases due to dilution from excess fluid
Hypovolemia and Dehydration
- Main difference: hypovolemia is a state of low blood volume, while dehydration is a state of inadequate body water
- Hypovolemia can occur without dehydration, and vice versa
Fluid Volume Deficit (FVD)
- Potential causes: bleeding, diarrhea, vomiting, excessive diuresis, and severe burns
- Serum electrolyte concentrations play a crucial role in FVD, as changes in sodium, potassium, and chloride levels can indicate severity
- Third-space fluid shifts can occur due to inflammation, pancreatitis, or bowel obstruction, leading to FVD
