Q

How is interstitial fluid volume calculated?

A

ECF fluid volume - plasma volume

23
Q

Presence of negatively charge proteins (anions) creates what two events? (Gibbs-Donnan effect)

A
  1. Protein particles create oncotic gradient favoring the movement of water into the cell
  2. Negative charges on proteins create an electrical environment, favoring the movement of charges into the cell
24
Q

Membrane is permeable to ______ and impermeable to ______?

A

permeable to ions and impermeable to large proteins

25
Q

What counters the inward force created by the Gibbs-Donnan effect to prevent cell swelling/death?

A

Na/K ATPase pump; pumps 3 Na+ out for every K+ in

26
Q

How does the Na/K ATPase protect the swell?

A

Pumping out the Na+ maintains a higher concentration of Na+ outside the cell preventing the excessive inward movement of water.

27
Q

Which 2 factors make the free movement of fluids between compartments possible?

A
  1. H2O molecules diffuse thru capillary walls faster than blood
  2. Pressure difference between the inside and outside of the vessels (capillary filtration pressure)
28
Q

When hydrostatic pressure builds inside capillary, fluid and solutes are forced where?

A

Out through the capillary walls into the interstitial fluid

29
Q

Normally capillary blood pressure (hydrostatic) exceeds plasma colloid osmotic pressure in what end and falls below it in?

A

Exceeds in the arteriole end and falls below it in the venule end.

30
Q

The main contributing protein to plasma colloid oncotic pressure is; acts like a magnet how?

A

Albumin; attracts water and hold it inside the blood vessel

31
Q

Best indicators for Total body water?

A

3H2O, 2H2O, antipyrine

32
Q

Best indicators for Extracellular fluid?

A

Inulin

33
Q

Best indicators for Plasma volume?

A

Albumin, Evans blue dye

34
Q

Best indicator for Blood volume?

A

51Cr-labeled RBC’s

35
Q

How do you solve for the concentration and volume with an indicator?

A

C1V1 = C2V2 *rearrange for desired value

36
Q

Isotonic-cell enviornment has a NaCl concentration of; what happens to cells placed here?

A
  • Equal to 0.85%
  • Will be equal movement in and out of cell (no net flow)
37
Q

Hypertonic-cell enviornment has a NaCl concentration of; what happens to cells placed here?

A
  • >0.85%
  • Water will rush out of cell causing it to shrink
38
Q

Hypotonic cell-enviornment has a NaCl concentration of; what happens to cells placed here?

A
  • <0.85%
  • Water will rush in causing them to swell
39
Q

Replacement therapy is divided into 2 general categories, what’s the difference?

A

1) Crystalloids - organic or inorganic salts dissolved in saline (i.e., 0.9% sodium chloride) and lactated Ringer’s
2) Colloids - Contain large molecules that don’t pass through semipermeable membranes, remain in intravascular compartment

40
Q

Why do Crystalloid replacement therapies work; mechanism?

A

DO NOT cross plasma membrane

  • remain in ECF
  • Can readily diffuse across capillary walls to equilibrate the intravascular (plasma, ECV) and interstitial volume. ECF will be diluted now so we can work towards a balance rather than having water rush out of the cells towards the increased osmolarity of the ECF due to dehyrdration
41
Q

How does the body sense its osmolality; part of brain; what do they stimulate secretion of?

A
  • Osmoreceptors in brain (organum vasculosum of OVLT)
  • OVLT connect to hypothalamus, the source of ADH
  • Will cause secretion of ADH when blood osmolality increases.
42
Q

The two effects of ADH (aka vasopressin)?

A
  • Prevent diuresis = conserves body water
  • Vasoconstriction
43
Q

Increases in osmolality leads to what 2 events, which happens first?

A
  • Changes in osmolality lead to release of ADH and stimulate thirst
  • ADH is released at lower osmolarity than thirst *Why by the time you feel thirst you’re already dehydrated
44
Q

Where is ADH produced, and where is is secreted?

A

Produced in the Hypothalamus, released by the Posterior Pituitary

45
Q

Explain the negative feedback mechanism once ADH is released

A

ADH is released, causing constriction of blood vessels inhibiting the signal of high solute concentration

46
Q

What are 2 abnormalities of ADH secretion:

A

1) Syndrome of inappropriate hypersecretion of ADH
2) Diabetes insipidus (lack of ADH)

47
Q

Equation for Osmolarity

A

Osmolarity = (2 x Na+) + (glucose/18) + (BUN/2.8)

48
Q

What are the 3 kinds of dehydration?

A

Isotonic (isonatremic): Both H2O and Na+ lost in equal amounts —> no net water flow

Hypotonic (hyponatremic): Loss of Na+ > loss of H2O in ECF –> net flow of water into cell

Hypertonic (hypernatremic): Loss of H2O > loss of Na+ in ECF —> net flow of water out of cell

49
Q

What’s represents on the X and Y axis of a Darrow-Yannet diagram; solid vs. dashed line?

A

X-axis: Volume (liters)

Y-axis: Osmolality (mOsm/kg H2O)

*Solid line represent normal and dashed is the change

50
Q

Volume contraction vs Volume expansion; effect on ECF

A

Volume contraction (depletion) = decreased ECF = decreased blood volume and BP

Volume expansion = increased ECF = increases BP and edema

51
Q

What is shown here and what causes this?

A

Iso-osmotic volume contraction

  • Hemorrhage
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
52
Q

What is shown here and what can cause this?

A

Hyper-osmotic volume contraction

  • Dehydration
  • Diabetes insipidus
  • Alcoholism
53
Q

What is shown here and what can cause this?

A

iso-osmotic volume expansion

  • Infusion with saline and NaCl solution
  • ECF volume would increase, but no change in osmolality and ICF volume
54
Q

What is shown here and what causes this?

A

Hypo-osmotic volume expansion

  • Excess water-drinking and SIADH (syndrome inappropriate ADH)
  • Increases in ECF and ICF volume, decreases osmolality
