Body Fluids CIS Flashcards
total body water
around 42L total
broken to ICF and ECF
ECF is plasma and interstitial fluid
plasma is venous and arterial
effective circulating volume
arterial
independent of ECF volume, plasma volume, and cardiac output
transcellular fluid
3rd fluid compartment
CSF, synovial, etc.
Vd
volume of distribution of drug
- apparent volume of body fluid in which total dose of drug is distributed at same concentration in plasma
- useful in calculating doses
Vd < 3L
only in plasma
Vd = 14L
drug in plasma and interstitial
Vd > 45L
drug widely distributed and bound in body tissues
body fluid compartments?
intake and output balanced
intracellular?
potassium and phosphate
also proteins and magnesium slightly larger
extracellular?
sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate
what remains relatively stable between extra and intra compartments?
total mOsm/L
-in osmotic equilibrium
more positive ions in plasma
because they can complex with negatively charged albumin
aka donnan effect**
albumin
higher in ICF and plasma
lower in interstitial fluid
proteins?
do not move across moembrane
-don’t impact osmolarity but do exert oncotic pressure
malnourishment?
not enough albumin in vessels to hold in water
water goes to peritoneal cavity (distended abdomen)
measure of body fluid compartment volumes
total body water, ECF, and plasma volume can be measured directly by dilution of injected radioactive substances or dyes
ICF then calculated by TBW - ECF
interstitial can be calculated ECF - plasma volume
plasma volume and hematocrit known?
TBV = plasma / 1 - hematocrit
osmolarity in ECF = ?
osmolarity of ICF
why is Na and K concentration slightly higher in vascular space?
donnan effect
-negative charge of proteins within vasculature attracts positively charged ions
balance in ECF?
between interstitial and intravascular
Na+ and osmolarity normally balanced
osmolarity established
in ECF due to presence of Na and Cl
disruption of pump activity?
ex/ hypoxia
increased ICF Na
water follows Na and cell swells
intracellular osmolarity
established by presence of K+
cell membrane
between ECF and ICF
-highly water soluble
not permeable to most electrolytes
fluid distribution dependent on osmotic effects of Na and Cl
capillary cell membrane?
between ECF compartments
highly permeable to small ions
fluid distribution due to balance between capillary hydrostatic P and colloid osmotic P (Starling)
maintenence of body fluid balance regulated by two factors which govern NaCl and water balance
ECF volume and ECF osmolarity
osmotic equilibration
movement of water acros cell membranes from higher to lower concentration as result of osmotic pressure difference across membrane
darrow-yannet diagram
concentration vs. volume
what change occurs first?
ECF compartment change
ICF and ECF?
in osmotic equilibrium
water moves only when osmotic pressure gradient exists
fluid distribution between plasma and interstitial fluid
maintained by balanced of hydrostatic and osmotic forces across capillaries
fluid distribution between ECF and ICF
determined by osmotic effect of small solutes across cell membrane
crystalloid fluids
contain varying concentration of electrolytes and can stay in ECF or be widely distributed
ex/ normal saline, lactated ringers solution
colloid fluids
contain large proteins and molecules that stay in the vascular space
ex/ dextran, albumin
isosmotic
solutions with same osmolarity as ECF
there will be a volume increase only
hyperosmotic
solution has higher osmolarity than that of ECF
water moves from ICF to ECF
-increase ECF volume and decreased ICF volume
hyposmotic
solution has osmolarity less than ECF
added to ECF, decreases osmolarity and water moves into cells (into ICF)
ECF and ICF volume both increase
tonicity
change in cell volume due to osmotic equilibrium with water movement across cell membranes
hypotonic solution
cell swelling
hypertonic solution
cell shrinking
tonicity depends on
concentration of impermeant solutes in ECF vs. ICF
fluid distribution between ICF and ECF determined by?
ion distribution
ATPase activity
distribution of ECF between plasma and interstitial compartments determined primarily by
hydrostatic and oncotic pressure
intravascular pressure in capillaries vs. plasma proteins and solute concentration
edema
inappropriate renal fluid retention
non-pitting edema
swollen cells due to increased ICF volume
pitting edema
increased interstitial fluid volume
altered starling forces edema
interstitial increased by 2.5-3L
-compensatory renal retention of sodium and water to maintain plasma volume in response to underfilling of the vasculature must occur in this situation to cause edema
renal retention of sodium and water edema
inappropriate renal fluid retention
isoosmotic volume contraction and expansion
osmolarity remains same in ICF and ECF
only changes in ECF volume
ex/ vomiting, diarrhea, infusion of 0.9% NaCl
hyperosmotic volume contraction
loss of water
-osmolarity increase and volume decrease in ECF
-then ICF volume decreases to equilibrate
ex/ dehydration, diabetes insipidus
hyperosmotic volume expansion
gain in NaCl
-osmolarity of NaCl increase and volume
-then ICF volume decreases
ex/ salt intake, mannitol infusion
hypoosmotic volume contraction
loss of NaCl
-ECF osmolarity and volume decrease
ex/ hypoaldosteronism, adrenal insufficiency
hypoosmotic volume expansion
gain of water
-decreases osmolarity of ECF
water increases in ECF and ICF volumes
ex/ SIADH, psychogenic, polydipsia
ADH
regulates osmolarity
thirst
regulates osmolarity
SNS
volume regulation
RAAS
volume regulation
ANP
volume regulation
