Fluid and hemodynamics disorders I Flashcards
total volume of water in the body
36 liters
- 24 within cells
- 12 extracellular
intracellular fluid % body weight
40%
extracellular fluid % body weight
16%
blood serum % body weight
4%
approximate blood volume
5 liters
- 3 liters in plasma
- 2 liters in cells (hematocrit 40%)
what is hematocrit represent?
% volume of cells to total volume
what influences water movement between compartments
changes in molecular components in the different compartments
what is osmolarity is approximately equal to
between the compartments (intracellular a little higher)
what determines water flow from intravascular space to extravascular space?
protein concentrations within the vascular space
where is sodium excluded from?
intracellular
changes in sodium equilibrates
between the vascular and interstitial spaces, but cases net flux of water into or out of cells
osmole gap
calculated 172
measured 198
-something in plasma adding to osmolality don’t know: ketones, ethyleneglycol, methyl-alcohol
percent of serum proteins thats albumin
60%
-influenced by degree of hydration, synthesis by liver
protein content: IG’s
16%
albumin:immunoglobulin ratio
A:G is 3:4:1
in serum electrophoresis: albumin peak
tallest widest peak
what does decrease in serum protein?
influences the shift of water from blood to the interstitium (edema)
main intracellular ion
potassium
changes in sodium concentrations act primarily to?
change the volume of cells, NOT shift water into or out of the intersitial space (both water and sodium are freely exchanged)
NO EDEMA
in renal failure edema results from?
increased hydrostatic pressure NOT changes in sodium concentrations
what does acidosis do to fluid?
shift hydrogen ions from outside the cell and replaced potassium which leaves the cell-> resulting in hyperkalemia
edema
accumulation of excessive fluid within intercellular tissue spaces or body cavities
two types of edema
- inflammatory (exudate)
2. non-inflammatory (transudate)
difference between the two types edema
increase in vasodilation
anasarca
generalized edema
pitting edema
occurs where fluid collects-> usually LE
