Small bowel obstruction is a condition characterized by which finding
Question:
What is the most common imbalance of fluids and salts?
Answer:
When you have small bowel obstruction, you have severe fluid and electrolyte imbalances. Severe fluid and electrolyte imbalances are a sign of a small bowel obstruction. When you lose a lot of body fluids, you get an electrolyte imbalance. For example, if you sweat or throw up too much, it can cause some electrolytes to drop in your body. Too much fluid can be lost from the body if you have diarrhoea, throw up, lose a lot of blood, or have a high fever. If the kidneys don’t have enough antidiuretic hormone (ADH), they may get rid of too much fluid.
