💨 Abstract

Fluid retention, or edema, is a common condition where the body retains excess water, often affecting the blood pressure. Sodium imbalance is the most frequent cause, but other factors like heart, kidney, liver diseases, medications, and hormonal changes can also cause it. Excess fluid increases blood pressure by adding volume to blood vessels, potentially leading to heart and kidney issues.
