Test2: Wk5: 3 Body fluid compartments - Mangiarua Flashcards
Total body water %
45-75% weight in Kg
TBW is — proportional to age
inversely
younger = more water
TBW is — related to body weight
inversely
more fat = less water
TBW is — in adult females compared to males
lower
70kg male has — L of TBW
42
% TBW males
% TBW females
60%
50%
TBW is distributed among what 3 major compartments
1 Blood Plasma
2 Interstitial Fluid
3 Intracellular Fluid
Intracellular fluid is % of body weight and — of TBW
40% body weight
2/3 TBW
Plasma and ISF separated by
capillaries
Plasma and ISF make up
ECF
ECF is % of body weight and — of TBW
20% body weight
1/2 TBW
ECF and ICF are separated by
cellular membranes
the fourth small compartment
transcellular fluid compartment
transcellular fluid compartment is % of TBW
2-4%
transcellular fluid compartment consists of
fluid in transit in the lumina of epithelial organs
- gallbladder
- stomach
- intestines
- bladder
- CSF
- intraocular fluid
what 4 organs communicate ECF with external environement
1 Alimentary canal
2 lungs
3 kidneys
4 skin
major ECF ions
Na and Cl
Major ICF ions
K
osmolarity =
2(Na) + (glucose/18) + (BUN/2.8)
osmolarity of plasma, ISK, and ICF =
295 mOsm/L
ECF pH
7.4
ICF pH
7.1
volume of distribution equation
V=(Q-q) / C
Concentration equation
mass / volume
Determination of Plasma volume
serum albumin labeled with radioactive iodine - does not permeate capillary walls and stays in plasma
Determination of ECF volume
inulin
can permeate capillary walls but not cell membranes
determination of total body water
antipyrine
rapidly permeate cell membranes and distributes uniformly throughout ECF and ICF
5 factors that can cause extracellular and intracellular volume to change
1 water 2 dehydration 3 IV infusion 4 LOF fluid from GI 5 Abnormal sweating or LOF fluid in kidneys
administration of 1.5 Liters will increase ECF by — liters because
1.5 NaCl does not penetrate ICF and there is no osmotic gradient
ECF can become hyperosmotc by 2 ways
water loss and Na retention
Hypernatremia usually seen in
Hypernatremia usually seen in adults with diminished mental status, patients with hypodipsia,
or infants with intact thirst mechanism but cannot ask for water.
Common causes of decreased ADH secretion (3)
head trauma, hypoxic or ischemic
encephalopathy.
3 Symptoms of hyperosmolarity (hypernatremia) are primarily neurologic:
1) Early signs: lethargy, weakness, irritability.
2) Symptoms progress to: twitching, seizures, coma, and death.
3) Symptoms related to the movement of water out of brain cells down the osmotic
gradient created by the rise in effective plasma osmolarity.
4 Common causes of increased ADH secretion
neuropsychiatric disorders,
drugs, pulmonary disease, or postoperative patient.
