'''Hypervolemia''' is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal increase in the volume of blood plasma in the body. It is also known as fluid overload. This condition can occur due to various reasons, including heart failure, kidney disease, and certain medications.

== Causes ==

The primary causes of [[hypervolemia]] include:

* [[Heart failure]]: This condition can cause the body to retain more fluid, leading to hypervolemia.
* [[Kidney disease]]: Kidney disease can impair the body's ability to excrete excess fluid, leading to fluid overload.
* Certain medications: Some medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and certain blood pressure medications, can cause the body to retain more fluid.

== Symptoms ==

The symptoms of hypervolemia can vary depending on the severity of the condition. They may include:

* [[Shortness of breath]]
* [[Swelling]] (edema) in the legs, ankles, and feet
* [[Weight gain]]
* [[High blood pressure]]

== Treatment ==

Treatment for hypervolemia typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the condition. This may include:

* Medications: Diuretics can help the body get rid of excess fluid.
* Dietary changes: Reducing salt intake can help prevent fluid retention.
* Dialysis: In severe cases, dialysis may be needed to remove excess fluid from the body.
