Fluid Balance Disturbances Flashcards
risk factors for fluid balance disturbances
renal failure
liver failure
severe diarrhea
vomitting
elderly
obese
babies
DKA
GI bleed
fluid balance disturbances varies with
age, body size, gender, body fat
obese have more or less fluid
less fluid
water intake
diet, food, feeding
water loss
kidney
sensible/insensible
sensible
loss that can be seen
insensible
loss that cannot be seen
ex: breathing
serum osmolality normal range
270-300
urine osmoloity normal range
200-800
urine specific gravity normal range
1.010-1.025
urine specific gavirty varies by
urine volume
increase in serum osmoloity
FVD
burns
diabetes inspidus
hypernat
stroke
head injury
advance liver disease
hyperglycemia
manitol
alcholism
decrease in serum osmolality
FVE
SIADH
AKI
diuretic
hyponat
parneoplastic syndrome
BUN normal range
10-20
BUN varies with
urine output
BUN is increased in
FVD
creatinine normal range
0.7-1.4
creatinine depends on
lean muscle mass
protein intake
person-person
hematocrit normal range
males: 42-52%
females: 35-47%
urine sodium normal range
75-200
hemaotocrit is elevated in
dehydrated people
organs involved in homeostasis
kidneys, lungs, heart, adrenal, parathyroid, pituitary
baroreceptors
RAAS
ADH/thirst
osmoreceptors
naturitic peptides
elderly considerations
reduced homeostatic mechanisms (cardiac, renal, respiratory)
decreased body fluid percentage
medication use
concomitant conditions
hypovolemia
FVD
loss of ECF volume exceeding the intake of fluid
FVD vs dehydration
dehydration is loss of water alone with increase sodium levels
FVD clinical mainfestitons
onset
rapid
FVD
severity depends on
degree of fluid loss
FVD
causes
vomit
diarrhea
GI suction
sweating
decrease intake
diabetes inspidus
adrenal insufficieny
hemorrhage
coma
FVD
clinical cues
urine
decrease
FVD
clinical cues
weight
loss
