Summary Introduction
Electrolyte, fluid, and acid-base balances helps in maintaining the function and health of the entire body. Sometimes, fluid imbalances occur as a result of disruption in the intake or output of fluid. Medications, disease processes, and several other factors contribute to an imbalance in body fluid. Fluid accumulation in the intravascular compartments is referred to as edema. In various conditions, accumulation of excessive extracellular fluid is seen in around ankles, fingers, sacral space, and eyes. Sometimes, accumulation of fluid is also observed around or within the organs present in the body.
