👉 Fluids, including blood, mucus, and synovial fluid, are essential for maintaining the body's homeostasis, but they can fail in several ways. One common failure is dehydration, which reduces blood volume and impairs circulation, leading to dizziness and fatigue. Infections can also compromise fluid balance, causing excessive fluid loss through sweating or urine, resulting in dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Additionally, conditions like diabetes insipidus, where the kidneys fail to produce sufficient antidiuretic hormone (ADH), lead to excessive urination and dehydration. Moreover, certain medications and medical conditions can disrupt fluid regulation, such as heart failure, which reduces cardiac output and causes fluid retention, leading to edema. These failures highlight the delicate balance required for proper fluid dynamics in the body.
