My understanding is that congestive heart failure patients typically go on a low sodium diet with diuretics to help maintain low fluid retention in the body. Sometimes this gets hard to manage and Hypervolemic Hyponatremia sets in and they need higher, often intravenous doses of diuretic to get fluid off of them. My question is, if the fluid levels in the body are disproportionately raised, why isn’t the solution to consume a proportional amount of sodium to then raise the ratio and get things going again?
