Sap: For some, it can be a 'risk factor'

If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart failure, or decompensated liver cirrhosis We've outlined why it's important to be cautious about getting a 'light' dose of sap.

 

(Some people like getting IV drips because they feel like their body is getting better.

(That's not always a good thing!)

 

The sap is not a nutrient. A powerful medical tool , and depending on the situation or disease, it can actually be a burden on the body.

 

1) Problems that arise when thinking of sap as a nutrient

In everyday life, it is perceived as something as simple as “a ringel when you are feeling down.”
Internists view IV fluids as a treatment that can be "very helpful if used well, but potentially harmful if used incorrectly."

The sap is basically

• NS (Saline solution) : salt water

• DW (dextrose solution) : sugar water
  These two are the bases, and they are the factors that greatly affect the body's circulation and metabolism.

 

2) Four patient groups for whom frequent IV fluids may be less beneficial

① Hypertensive patients – risk of increased blood pressure

Infusion is the act of 'adding' fluid into the blood vessels.
Basically, if you have high blood pressure and the fluid is injected at a rapid rate,
Blood vessel pressure may rise momentarily.

Points to note: Those with poorly controlled high blood pressure may be more sensitive to changes in speed and dosage.

 

② Diabetics – Glucose intravenous fluids can cause blood sugar spikes.

Some people seek out glucose solutions to restore energy, but
For patients with poorly controlled diabetes Options that can cause a significant rise in blood sugar levels in a short period of time It can be.

 

The more unstable the diabetes control, the more caution is required regarding repeated fluid dependence.

 

③ Heart failure patients – increased strain on the heart

Heart failure A state in which the heart's pumping power is weakened no see.
When fluid comes in at this time, the heart has to process more blood,
Aggravating factors such as edema and shortness of breath may appear.

It can be like giving a weakened heart 'extra work'.

 

④ Non-compensated cirrhosis with ascites – risk of worsening ascites and edema

Patients with cirrhosis who have developed ascites may already have a body that incorrectly senses that it is “lacking blood.” A state that retains sodium and water no see.

If salt water (saline solution) is added at this time,
The balance that was difficult to maintain with a low-salt diet can easily be destroyed.
Most of the glucose solution also leaks out of the blood vessels. Conditions that can make swelling worse This happens.

In a state of revenge, 'I'm feeling down, so I'll take a supplement' can actually be a burden.

 

3) There is an exception: 'emergency'

Even if there is ascites, if there is a risk of low blood pressure or infection (e.g. sepsis) Sap comes first It could be.

• “I will never get IVs because I have revenge” → This kind of self-determination is dangerous in an emergency situation.

• Judging the situation Vital signs such as blood pressure and pulse are given priority.

• In such cases, deciding what kind of fluid to inject and how much is a matter of expertise for the doctor.

in other words, Be careful with daily and habitual fluids , In an emergency, medical judgment takes precedence. That's the key point.

 

4) Final Summary

People who may benefit from frequent sap intake

• Hypertensive patients (concern about increased blood pressure)

• Diabetics (risk of blood sugar spikes from glucose intravenous fluids)

• Patients with heart failure (increased heart strain)

• Patients with non-compensated cirrhosis with a high incidence of ascites (ascites and edema may worsen)

 

Sap is not a treatment that is taken lightly like vitamins, but rather one of the most delicate treatments in internal medicine.
Since the results may vary depending on the current condition and disease, it is safe to do so under the judgment of a medical professional.
