Fluid distribution and edema Flashcards
Intracellular fluid
2/3 of total body water
Extracellular fluid
1/3 of total body water
Interstitial fluid
3/4 of the extracellular fluid
Plasma volume
1/4 of the extracellular fluid
Vascular compartment
contain the blood volume which is plasma and the cellular elements of blood, primarily red blood cells
Cell membrane
relative barrier for Na+
Capillary membrane
barrier for plasma proteins
Osmolarity
concentration of particles per liter of solution
Osmolality
concentration of particles per kg of solvent
Common examples that elevate osmolar gap
ethanol methanol ethylene glycol acetone mannitol
Estimated osmolality
2(Na+) + glucose/18 + BUN/2.8
Primary factors regulating renin
Perfusion pressure to the kidney - decrease stimulates; increase inhibits
Sympathetic stimulation to kidney - increased via Beta-1 receptor
Na+ delivery to the macula densa - decrease stimulates; increase inhibits
Primary factors regulating aldosterone
Plasma (angiotensin II) - stimulates release
Plasma (K) - stimulates release
RAAS
Renin
Angiotensin
Aldosterone
Primary factors regulatins ADH
Plasma osmolarity stimulates
Blood volume/pressure (inversely related)
