The best way to handle overhydration is to treat the underlying condition causing it. If individuals have an underlying condition such as a kidney problem or a hormonal imbalance, they must treat it using the proper methods their doctor has advised. Individuals with kidney disease are most susceptible to overhydration, but those who take certain antidepressants are also prone to this kind of health concern. Certain hormonal issues cause the pituitary glands to secrete too much of something called vasopressin, which stimulates the kidneys. When this happens, the kidneys begin to retain water they do not need, which can cause overhydration.
