Fluid Imbalance
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When faced with signs such as swelling, intense thirst, or changes in the amount of urine, it is worth considering a fluid imbalance, an alteration in the amount of water and salts the body needs to function properly.
What it is: It may involve either an excess or a shortage of fluids, which affects the functioning of different organs.
Possible causes: Prolonged vomiting or diarrhea, low water intake, excessive heat, or certain health conditions that alter the internal balance.
Which specialists treat it? The internist and the endocrinologist evaluate this type of disturbance, and the general practitioner can provide initial guidance. If you have symptoms of dehydration or fluid retention that do not improve, discussing it with a professional helps identify the cause and guide care.
