5 creatinine, Full body Edema
The patient is under medical supervision, need an opinion on engiography. Doctors say the fluid retention has caused the heart to function improperly. They are performing dialysis now to get rid of the water accumulated. My question is, will the reduction in water from body help heart regain some of it's health?

Excessive fluid in water leads to increased workload on heart causing congestive cardiac failure...dialysis will help in removal of excessive fluid in body so the cardiac function will improve but there are less chances that heart will function to the normal level like it was doing previously...
