Na+ Disorders (lec 2) Flashcards
ECF Cationº?
Anionº?
Na+
Cl-
ICF Cationº?
Anionº?
K+
PO4-
TBW composition?
2/3 ICF
1/3 ECF: 3/4 ISF, 1/4 plasma
Osmolality is?
[solute] of a fluid
What osmotically active substances are used to calculate osmolality?
Na+
Glu
BUN (blood urea nitrogen)
Isotonic (proportional H2O/solute) Δ in ECF Fluid results in?
size of ECF compartment Δs but no fluid moves b/w ECF/ICF
*Δ confined to ECF
Isotonic ↓ in ECF results in?
e.g. dehydration
↓ size of ECF compartment
no fluid movement
Isotonic ↑ in ECF results in?
e.g. IV
↑ size of ECF compartment
no fluid movement
Hyponatrimic Δ (Na+ deficit) in ECF results in?
movement of fluid from ECF into ICF compartment,
cell swells
*Δ effects ICF
Hypernatremic Δ (Na+ excess) in ECF results in?
movmt of fluid from ICF into ECF compartment,
cell shrinks
*Δ effects ICF
Possible Volume status of pt? (3)
Euvolemic (normal)
Hypervolemic (overload)
Hypovolemic (dehydration)
Hypovolemia presentation?
↑ thirst ↓ sweat ↓ urine output, ↑ concentration Dry skin CNS depression Weak, mm cramps Ortho hypoTN Ortho ↑ pulse
Anasarca is?
total body edema
Hypervolemia presentation?
Edema SOB Orthopnea/nocturnal HTN Tachycardia JVD Crackles
Hypovol caused by?
fluid loss
fluid sequestration
GI bleed
Hypervol caused by?
renal Na+ retention
heart, liver, renal dx
Intravascular Volume is?
fluid volume in bv
effective circulating vol
Intravascular Vol important why?
homeostasis mechanisms respond to intravasc vol, not total extracellular vol
\\\ dx w/ low intravas vol but high extracell vol keep stim salt/H2O retention
(HF, liver F)
Body responds to hypovol how?
Thirst
ADH (anti-di hormone)
Body responds to a change in osmolarity that causes hypovolemia how?
CNS stim:
ADH release -> H2O retention
Angio II stim -> thirst
