These patients may have coexisting total body volume overload and intravascular volume depletion.
Intravascular volume depletion is divided into three types based on the blood sodium level:
It can also cause urinary sodium wasting, leading to volume depletion and hypotension.
The increasing hemoconcentration and volume depletion may result in:
Unfortunately, this can lead to volume depletion and decreased cardiac output.
Therefore, a lack of it causes increased urine production and volume depletion.
Nevertheless, they can be associated with low sodium levels, volume depletion, and low blood pressure, among other adverse effects.
Removal of too much fluid can cause volume depletion and hypotension.
Choosing a low dose and avoiding volume depletion will minimise this potential risk.
It is very common, within the first month post-surgery, for a patient to undergo volume depletion and dehydration.
