Q

what is the result of ECF volume gain

A

decreased total plasma protein (dilution)

17
Q

ECF volume loss will do what to hematocrit

A

increase

18
Q

ECF volume gain will do what to hematocrit

A

decrease

19
Q

ICF volume loss will do what to hematocrit

A

decrease

20
Q

ICF volume gain will do what to hematocrit

A

increase

21
Q

Gibbs-Donnan Effect

A

presence of a negatively charged protein on one side of a semipermeable membrane generates both osmotic and electrochemical gradients across the membrane

22
Q

what counteracts the inward force created by the Gibbs-Donnan effect?

A

Na/K ATPase pump

23
Q

what is responsible for the ECF osmotic balance

A

Na

24
Q

what is responsible for the ICF osmotic balance

A

K

25
Q

when does edema become apparent?

A

when interstitial volume is increased by 2.5-3.0L

normal plasma volume is 3L

26
Q

isotonic

A

cell environment has a NaCl concentration equal to 0.85%

27
Q

hypertonic

A

cell environment has a NaCl concentration greater than 0.85%

28
Q

hypotonic

A

cell environment has a NaCl concentration less than 0.85%

29
Q

what are the main solutes in the ECF

A

sodium
glucose
urea

30
Q

what is a result of changes in Na balance

A

changes in volume status

31
Q

what is a result of changes in H2O balance

A

changes in Na concentration and osmolarity

32
Q

hypotonic dehydration

A

loss of sodium is greater than loss of water in ECF

33
Q

hypertonic dehydration

A

loss of water is greater than loss of sodium in ECF

34
Q

hyponatremia

A

serum sodium below 130-135

results in: increased ICF

35
Q

hypernatremia

A

serum sodium above 147-150

results in: decreased ICF
