<unk>  is a severe symptom, not a pathological process in and of itself; as such, the best treatment is to treat the underlying cause. However, there are a number of things that can be done to help get the fluid off as well as prevent further accumulation of fluid. Diuretics One of the mainstays of any edema treatment, diuretics are a category of medications that help the body pee out fluid by altering the way in which the kidney processes urine. * Loop diuretics * Thiazide diuretics * Thiazide-like diuretics * Potassium-sparing diuretics Diet The body more efficiently absorbs fluid from the gut and retains that fluid with the help of sodium and sugar. As such, decreasing salt and simple sugar intake will help prevent accumulation of fluid and potentiate the effect of any diuretics. Following a high protein diet will help provide your body with the substrates necessary to produce albumin, the major protein in human plasma and the single most important molecule in maintaining the serum oncotic pressure. Fiber Bulking fiber, both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, absorb water throughout your GI tract. Viscous fiber can thicken the contents of the GI track and slow the absorption of other compounds (like simple sugars).
