What you need to know
How do you know if you are properly hydrated?
Dehydration can present itself with many symptoms that often maybe overlooked by individuals. Symptoms such as feeling tired, muscle cramping, decreased urine output, lightheadedness may signify you are suffering from dehydration and need fluids to restore proper balance to your body, it is what we in medicine call homeostasis
If so, can I just drink more water?
​
Unfortunately the rapid consumption of water does not lead to improvement of hydration. In fact, over consuming water in a short period of time has been associated with dangerous outcomes. Because our blood contains different minerals, cells, proteins, and a proper pH balance, attempting to hydrate rapidly with solely water can be fatal. In our clinic we use our medical judgement and evaluation of each patient to determine the fluid that will best suit your medical needs.
Can everyone have IV hydration therapy.
​
​
Though fluids are required by everyone for proper body function, the proper amount and what is in the IV therapy is important. In certain patient, such as those with heart failure, kidney disease or on dialysis excessive IV fluids or what is in the fluids can worsen their medical conditions. That is why in our clinic Hydration IV therapy is completely customized to your body need keeping in mind that each patient may require different therapy or no therapy at all.
