👉 Physicians' fluid, also known as total body fluid (TBF), is a comprehensive measure of the total amount of water and other solutes in the body, crucial for assessing hydration status, fluid balance, and overall health. It is calculated by subtracting the weight of urine produced from the patient's body weight after a specified period, typically 24 hours. This measurement helps clinicians diagnose and monitor various conditions, such as dehydration, edema, heart failure, liver disease, and kidney dysfunction. By evaluating fluid levels, physicians can tailor treatment plans to maintain optimal hydration and support the body's functions.
