Rebound Diuresis

Rebound diuresis is a medical condition that occurs when the body starts to produce an increased amount of urine after a period of oliguria or anuria. This condition is often seen in patients who have been treated for edema or fluid overload.

Causes[edit | edit source]

Rebound diuresis can occur as a result of various medical conditions and treatments. It is commonly seen in patients who have been treated with diuretics for conditions such as heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and kidney disease. It can also occur in patients who have been treated for hyponatremia or hypernatremia.

Symptoms[edit | edit source]

The main symptom of rebound diuresis is an increased production of urine. This can lead to dehydration if not properly managed. Other symptoms can include electrolyte imbalances, hypotension, and tachycardia.

Treatment[edit | edit source]

Treatment for rebound diuresis typically involves managing the underlying cause of the condition. This can include adjusting the dosage of diuretics, treating the underlying medical condition, and ensuring adequate hydration and electrolyte balance.
