Diagnosing hypervolemia involves a combination of clinical evaluation and diagnostic tests. Important steps include:
Clinical examination - Checking for signs of edema, weight gain, and respiratory distress. Blood tests - Assessing electrolyte levels, kidney function, and liver function. Imaging studies - Chest X-rays or echocardiograms to evaluate heart and lung function. Urine output monitoring - Tracking the volume and concentration of urine.
