Body Fluid Compartments
• 2/3 (65%) of TBW is intracellular (ICF)
• 1/3 extracellular water– 25 % interstitial fluid (ISF)
– 5- 8 % in plasma (IVF intravascular fluid)
– 1- 2 % in transcellular fluids – CSF, intraocular fluids, serous membranes, and in GI, respiratory and urinary tracts (third space)

– osmotic pressure\
• Capillary filtration (hydrostatic) pressure
• Capillary colloid osmotic pressure
• Interstitial hydrostatic pressure
• Tissue colloid osmotic pressure

Movement of body fluids “ Where sodium goes, water follows.”
Diffusion – movement of particles down a concentration gradient.
Osmosis – diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
Active transport – movement of particles up a concentration gradient ; requires energy

Electrolyte balance
• Na + (Sodium) – 90 % of total ECF cations– 136 -145 mEq / L
– Pairs with Cl- , HCO3- to neutralize charge
– Low in ICF – Most important ion in regulating water balance– Important in nerve and muscle function
![Page 33: Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812b40550346895d8f5799/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

37
Isotonic alterations in water balance
• Occur when TBW changes are accompanied by = changes in electrolytes– Loses plasma or ECF– Isotonic fluid loss
• ↓ECF volume, weight loss, dry skin and mucous membranes, ↓ urine output, and hypovolemia ( rapid heart rate, flattened neck veins, and normal or ↓ B.P. – shock)
![Page 38: Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812b40550346895d8f5799/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
• Isotonic fluid excess– Excess IV fluids– Hypersecretion of aldosterone– Effect of drugs – cortisone
Get hypervolemia – weight gain, decreased hematocrit, diluted plasma proteins, distended neck veins, ↑ B.P.
Can lead to edema (↑ capillary hydrostatic pressure) pulmonary edema and heart failure
![Page 39: Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812b40550346895d8f5799/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Electrolyte imbalances: Sodium
• Hypernatremia (high levels of sodium)– Plasma Na+ > 145 mEq / L
– Due to ↑ Na + or ↓ water
– Water moves from ICF → ECF
– Cells dehydrate
![Page 40: Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812b40550346895d8f5799/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

![Page 41: Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812b40550346895d8f5799/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
• Hypernatremia Due to:
– Hypertonic IV soln.
– Oversecretion of aldosterone
– Loss of pure water
• Long term sweating with chronic fever
• Respiratory infection → water vapor loss
• Diabetes – polyuria
– Insufficient intake of water (hypodipsia)
![Page 42: Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812b40550346895d8f5799/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42

– Oral solutions preferable
![Page 44: Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812b40550346895d8f5799/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Hyponatremia• Overall decrease in Na+ in ECF
• Two types: depletional and dilutional
• Depletional HyponatremiaNa+ loss:– diuretics, chronic vomiting– Chronic diarrhea– Decreased aldosterone– Decreased Na+ intake
![Page 45: Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812b40550346895d8f5799/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
• Dilutional Hyponatremia:– Renal dysfunction with ↑ intake of hypotonic
fluids– Excessive sweating→ increased thirst →
intake of excessive amounts of pure water– Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH (SIADH) or
oliguric renal failure, severe congestive heart failure, cirrhosis all lead to:• Impaired renal excretion of water
– Hyperglycemia – attracts water
![Page 46: Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812b40550346895d8f5799/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

47
Hypokalemia
• Serum K+ < 3.5 mEq /L
• Beware if diabetic
– Insulin gets K+ into cell
– Ketoacidosis – H+ replaces K+, which is lost in urine
• β – adrenergic drugs or epinephrine
![Page 48: Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812b40550346895d8f5799/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Causes of Hypokalemia

• Increased K+ loss
– Chronic diuretics
– Acid/base imbalance
– Trauma and stress
– Increased aldosterone
– Redistribution between ICF and ECF
![Page 49: Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812b40550346895d8f5799/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Calcium Imbalances• Most in ECF• Regulated by:
– Parathyroid hormone• ↑Blood Ca++ by stimulating osteoclasts• ↑GI absorption and renal retention
– Calcitonin from the thyroid gland• Promotes bone formation• ↑ renal excretion
![Page 54: Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812b40550346895d8f5799/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
Hypercalcemia• Results from:
– Hyperparathyroidism – Hypothyroid states– Renal disease– Excessive intake of vitamin D– Milk-alkali syndrome– Certain drugs– Malignant tumors – hypercalcemia of malignancy
• Tumor products promote bone breakdown• Tumor growth in bone causing Ca++ release
![Page 55: Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812b40550346895d8f5799/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
