Euvolemic would be correct, meaning normal volume status, not dehydrated or

overloaded. Eu- is a combining form meaning well, easily, or good; the opposite

of dys-, per Dorland's. I actually like to think of eu- as meaning normal, in

this case normal volume. I also hear euthyroid a lot, which means normal

thyroid function. Hope that will help you to remember it. Margaret
