What Does FVD Stand For?

FVD stands for Fluid Volume Deficit

Fluid Volume Deficit (FVD) refers to a clinical condition characterized by an insufficient amount of fluid in the body's extracellular and/or intracellular compartments. It may result from factors such as inadequate fluid intake, excessive fluid loss through vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, or diuretic use. Clinically, FVD manifests as symptoms including dehydration, decreased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and reduced urine output. Prompt recognition and management are essential to prevent complications and restore proper fluid balance in affected individuals.
