Q

Explain the buffer system

A

• A buffer is a chemical system that prevents a radical change in fluid pH by dampening the change in hydrogen ion concentrations in the case of excess acid or base. Most commonly, the substance that absorbs the ions is either a weak acid, which takes up hydroxyl ions, or a weak base, which takes up hydrogen
ions.

Q

Explain the Acid-base balancing by the kidney

A

—The response of the kidney to acid-base imbalances is governed by the relative magnitudes of proton secretion and HCO, filtration because these two factors affect the rates of acid and alkall excretion.
+If Pco2 rises, proton secretion becomes dominant and the kidney excretes acid, raising blood ph.
+ If [HCO3] rises, HCO, filtration increases and the kidney excretes alkali, reducing blood pH.

Q

Explain classification of blood ph

A

-there is 2 classification:

• By type:
1) acidoses are conditions in which hydrogen ions are accumulated in the body and there is a tendency to acidification of the internal environment; there are:
a) respiratory acidosis;
b) metabolic acidosis.
2) alkaloses are conditions in which the level of hydrogen ions in the body is decreased and there is a tendency to alkalization of the internal environment, there are:
• by the degrees:
1- Compensated acidosis and alkalosis (pH-7.37-7.45)
2-• Subcompensated (alkalosis at pH 7.45-7.48; acidosis at pH 7.3-7.37)
3-• Uncompensated (alkalosis, pH > 7.48; acidosis pH<7.3).

Q

explain water in the body distribution

A

-The water in the body is distributed in two spaces: intracellular (about 2/3 of the water of the human body) and extracellular (1/3 of the total water).
-Extracellular water space includes two sectors:
1) intravascular water sector, which is almost completely represented by blood plasma (about 8% of the total body water), A small amount of water falls on the body cavity fluid: abdominal, pleural, etc., and forms a cerebrospinal, intraocular, intra-articular fluid.
2) interstitial water sector (25% of all body water). It is the most mobile, changing volume with excess or lack of water in the body. All body water is renewed in about a month, and extracellular water space — in a week.
–In addition, the form of binding water in the body is:
1) free, it forms the basis of extracellular fluid (blood, lymph, interstitial fluid);
2) related (located in complex with colloids);
3) constitutional (included in the structure of protein molecules, fats and carbohydrates).

19
Q

EXPLAIN HORMONAL REGULATION OF WATER AND ELECTROLYTE METABOLISM

A

-Slim-regulation of water content and electrolytes provided by a number of hormones, antidiuretic and antinatriuretic components of the system. The main active organ of both systems are the kidneys.
-Aldosterone is a hormone that regulates blood sodium levels. Aldosterone specifically increases sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct of the nephrons in the
kidneys. The result of this mechanism is to conserve sodium. Because “water follows salt,” this may
also lead to water retention when ADH is present.
-Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a hormone that promotes both fluid and sodium loss by the kidneys , The name natriuretic actually means “salt excreting.” ANP release from the atria is stimulated when blood volume and pressure are elevated. ANP has three major effects:
1) it decreases aldosterone release, resulting in a decrease in sodium reabsorption and increased sodium loss in the urine;
2) it decreases ADH release, which decreases water reabsorption and increases water loss to lower blood volume and pressure; and 3) it decreases thirst.
-The level of calcium in blood is regulated primarily by two hormones:
1-Parathyroid hormone: Parathyroid hormone does the following:
* Stimulates bones to release calcium into blood
* Causes the kidneys to excrete less calcium in urine
* Stimulates the digestive tract to absorb more calcium
* Causes the kidneys to activate vitamin D, which enables the digestive tract to absorb more calcium
2-Calcitonin : is produced by cells of the thyroid gland. It lowers the calcium level in blood by slowing the breakdown of bone, but only slightly

Q

explain water disorders df , types ,

A

-Disorders of water metabolism are divided into Hypo - and dehydration (dehydration) – reducing the amount of liquid and hypergidratation is characterized by excessive accumulation of fluid in the body
-Disorders of water metabolism are divided into Hypo - and dehydration (dehydration) – reducing the amount of liquid and hypergidratation is characterized by excessive accumulation of fluid in the body

21
Q

explain Hypohydration

A

-Hypohydration - a form of violation of water-electrolyte metabolism, in which the removal of water
from the body exceeds its intake. Depending on the fluid deficiency, a light, medium and severe degree
of dehydration is isolated. Light degree occurs when the loss of 5-6% body fluid (1-2 l), the average – 5-
10% (2-4 l) and heavy – more than 10% (over 4-5 l). The extreme degree of dehydration is called exsicosis.
1-Hypertonic hypohydration occurs when the loss of water exceeds the loss of electrolytes (primarily sodium) This
condition occurs when:
1) long-term forced diuresis without water deficiency replenishment;
2) profuse perspiration;
3) loss of saliva (saliva is hypotonic in relation to blood);4) diarrhea with the release of watery stool (cholera);
5) insufficient intake of water into the body
-Labortary signs: increased levels of blood urea, creatinine, sodium (hypernatraemia), reduces urinary output.
2-Isotonic hypohydration occurs due to the loss of interstitial fluid space this pathological condition occurs when:
1) acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases;
2) peritonitis;
3) pancreatitis;
4) extensive burns;
5) polyuria.
-Laboratory signs:
Increased urine osmolality,
Increased urine specific gravity,
Elevated hemoglobin and hematocrit,
Serum sodium: normal,
High serum osmolality,
Elevated blood urea nitrogen
3-Hypotonic hypohydration occurs when the body loses a large amount of water and electrolytes with a predominant loss of salts This syndrome occurs when:
1) loss of gastric and intestinal juices (indomitable vomiting, pregnancy, profuse diarrhea);
2) profuse perspiration;
3) loss of salts by the kidney in violation of Central or hormonal regulation (the effects of encephalopathy, brain injuries, lesions of the adrenal glands with symptoms of hypoaldosteronism);
4) fasting;
5) insufficient intake of salt in the body.
-Laboratory signs: Increased urine osmolality,
Increased urine specific gravity,
Elevated hemoglobin and hematocrit,
Serum sodium: decreased,
High serum osmolality,
Elevated blood urea nitrogen

Q

explain Hyperhydration

A

-Hyperhydration-a form of violation of water-electrolyte metabolism, which occurs due to excessive water intake into the body or its insufficient excretion.
1-Hyperhydration-a form of violation of water-electrolyte metabolism, which occurs due to excessive water intake into the body or its insufficient excretion ,This condition occurs when:
1) forced use of sea water as drinking water;
2) the introduction of large amounts of hypertensive solutions in the body with preserved renal excretory function;
3) the introduction of isotonic solutions in patients with impaired renal excretory function.
2- isotonic hyperhydration is an increase in the volume of interstitial fluid against the background of proportional delay in the body of sodium and water. The osmotic pressure of
the plasma does not change. Isotonic gipergidratace most likely to occur:
1) against the background of diseases accompanied by edema syndrome;
2) as a result of excessive administration of isotonic salt solutions.

3-Hypotonic hyperhydration is associated with the accumulation of water when its intake exceeds the excretory capacity of the kidneys. This condition may occur when:
1) single-stage reception of very large amounts of water;2) long-term/in the introduction of salt-free solutions;
3) edema on the background of chronic heart failure, liver cirrhosis, AKI;
4) frequently repeated cleansing enemas;
5) after surgery (when kidney function is reduced and oliguria occurs).
