QUOTE(AsenDURE @ Jul 25 2006, 12:44 AM) oedema is a not caused by drinking too much water...it is caused by heart failure, kidney, tyroid, liver (to name a few) or in a normal person heat which causes the peripheral blood vessels to expand, resulting in fluid shifts from the blood vessels to surrounding tissues and long periods of immobility such as a long flight where blood pools in the veins. yes... actually oedema is not a direct caused of drinking too much of water.. but might contributed indirectly by excessive of water in the body.. tat is why patient with oedema have their water intake restricted..the correct term is hyperhydration or water poisoning/water intoxication which is a fatal disturbance in brain function when normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by a very rapid intake of water. p.s- yes. too much water can actually kill you. |
