Dr. T A Choudhury DM(Nephrology)

Fluid overload occurs when the body retains more fluid than it can safely manage. It can cause swelling in the legs or feet, rapid weight gain, breathlessness, high blood pressure, or discomfort. It may occur in people with kidney disease, heart conditions, or other health problems that affect fluid balance. Fluid overload management depends on its underlying cause and the individual s health. A nephrologist may recommend monitoring fluid intake, reducing dietary salt, adjusting medicines, or using other treatments when necessary. In some people with advanced kidney disease, dialysis may be required to remove excess fluid. Patients should not change their fluid intake or medicines without medical advice. Regular monitoring of weight, blood pressure, swelling, and urine output can help identify changes early. Severe or sudden breathlessness, chest discomfort, or rapidly worsening swelling requires prompt medical attention. Dr. T A Choudhury provides nephrology care in Guwahati, including evaluation and management of fluid overload and kidney-related conditions. Professional kidney care and personalised monitoring can help support appropriate fluid balance and reduce the risk of complications. 23 hours ago Call now
