Conceptual Approach to Body Fluids and Edema, Education  Determines Clinical Outcomes in Heart Failure

Iran J Kidney Dis. 2024 Mar;18(2):65-67. doi: 10.5254/1aytkx77.ABSTRACTIn this brief communication, we reemphasize the importance of critical thinking in clinical practice using the example of edema. The common practice of thinking and inquiry by practicing clinicians has beneficial implications for healthcare by improving outcomes and patient care while alleviating the burden of misconceptions in practice. We provide an in-depth and interactive investigation of physiological concepts as a foundation for understanding body fluid dynamics. Finally, we offer a new classification of symptoms of heart failure. DOI: 10.52547/ijkd.8171.PMID:38660694 | DOI:10.5254/1aytkx77
