Heart Failure Fluid Management 

Fluid Management Program

Mercy's Fluid Management Program is an evidence-based care option that enables people with heart failure to receive diuretic treatment in an outpatient setting. This means you'll have the opportunity to go home to rest and recover as much as possible between treatments.

Our expert care team has years of experience providing complete support to patients throughout their treatment. They have the experience, tools and medications needed to manage fluid overload to help keep patients out of the hospital. 

What Is Fluid Management for Heart Failure? 

In chronic heart failure, the heart can't pump blood to other parts of the body effectively. This can cause excess fluid to build up in the body. If you have this condition, you may need to:

• Limit your salt and fluid intake
• Take medication (diuretics) to help remove the excess fluid
• Check your weight regularly

Your Mercy doctor will adjust your treatment based on your symptoms and individual needs. 

Benefits of the Fluid Management Program

The Fluid Management Program offers many benefits to patients. Our treatment for fluid retention is offered in a convenient and safe clinic setting with compassionate nursing care and support throughout. 

Between treatments, you'll be able to return to the comfort of your home to rest and recover. This approach not only reduces the need for unnecessary overnight hospital stays but also reduces your risk of infection and lowers your overall medical bill.
