What is edema?
=The accumulation of fluid within the interstitial spaces.
=”water balance”-can indicate fluid excess or sequestered fluids.
Define mechanism of “forces” causing edema.
= (forces favoring fluid movement from the capillaries or lymphatic channels into tissues)
Name the forces or causes of edema.
=increased hydrostatic pressure, lowered plasma oncotic pressure, increased capillary membrane permeability, lymphatic obstruction.
Describe causes of increased capillary hydrostatic pressure Pc.
venous obstruction, salt and water retention (Pc-favoring force, L heart failure, fluid moves across from blood side to interstitial side).
Name the causes of venous obstruction.
=, thrombophlebitis, hepatic obstr, tight clothing, prolonged standing
Name the causes of salt and water retention
=CHF, renal failure (causing vol overload and edema)
Define decreased capillary oncotic pressure c?
lost or diminished plasma albumin production (decreased oncotic attration of fluid within the capillary causes fluid to move into interstitial spaces. ) ie. If this press decreases, more water goes across cell wall
Name primary causes of decreased capillary oncotic pressure
liver disease, protein malnutrition, loss via : glomerular kidney dz, serous drainage via open wounds, hemorrhage, burns (permeability changes), cirrhosis. )
What causes increased capillary membrane permeability?
=inflammation and immune responses, trauma like burns or crushing, neoplastic dx, allergic rxns.
Describe the mechanism of edema caused by increased capillary membrane permeability.
=proteins escape from the vasc bed via loss of capillary oncotic and interstitial fluid protein accumulation.
Describe lymphatic obstruction edema.
Lymphatic system normally absorbs interstitial fluid and sm amnt proteins.
-blocked channesl or surgical removal causes proteins and fluid accumulation in interstitial space. Ie. Wont dreain interstitial compartment, interstitial oncotic pressure increases and pulls fluid=edema
Give examples of mechanisms that cause Lymphatic obstr
=lymphedema of arm or leg occurs ater sufg femoval of axil/fem lymph nodes for ca tx
=inflammation or tumors
Clinical manifestations of edema?
=localized (site of trauma) or generalized (cerebral, pulmonary, pleural eff, pericardial eff, ascites.

Can have dehydration with edema; it is in the 3rd space and unavail for metabolic processes ie, sequestering with burns reducing plasma vol causing shock.
Sodium, Chloride, and Water balance
water follows the osmotic gradients established by changes in salt concentration, therefore, sodium and water balance are intimately related.
What is water balance primarily regulated by?
=ADH, anti-diuretic hormone or vasopressin, and the perception of thirst.
What is sodium regulated by?
Aldosterone
When is thirst stimulated?
=when water loss equals 2% indv body weight, or when there is an increase in osmolality.
Name three receptors that trigger you to drink fluid.
=osmoreceptors (thirst), volume sensitive receptors, and baroreceptors (pressure)
Define osmoreceptors –
=neurons in the hypothalamus which are activated by hyperosmolality and plasma volume depletion causing thirst.
What causes ADH secretion?
(water balance is controlled by ADH secretion)
=stimulus for release of ADH is sensed by the hypothalamus.
=1)when plasma osmolality increases (the higher the osmolality, the more nervous system discharges to pituitary to release ADH
2) circ blood vol decreases and bp drops.
When does increased plasma osmolality occur and what does it result in?
=occurs with water deficit or sodium excess in relation to water. ,
=results in a fall in extracellular and interstitial fluid vol, stimulating hypothalamic osmoreceptors.
In addition to causing thirst, what do osmoreceptors stimulate?
=stimulate the posterior pituitary gland to release ADH to the kidney/
What is the function of ADH?
=increases the permeability of 2 parts of nephron (distal tubule and collecting duct) to water causing water reabsorption (aquaporin flos) into plasma.
What results in secretion of ADH?
=increased urine concentration (>290-300mOsm), decreased plasma osmolality returning it to normal
What happens if osmolality in blood is dilutes?
ADH will not be released (need to rid water) and you need to reabsorb sodium (urine will become dilute (100mOsm)
Define Baroreceptors.
=nerve endings that are sensitive to changes in volume and pressure.
When do baroreceptors and volume-sensitive receptors kick in and what do they stimulate?
=Dehydration from vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating.
=stimulate pituitary to release ADH
Where are the volume receptors located?
=r and l atria, thoracic vessels,
Where are the baroreceptors found?
=aorta, pulm a., carotid sinuses
Name other causes of ADH secretion which promotes reabsorption of water causing restoration of plasma volume.
=ABP drop, decreased blood vol,
What is the functional unit of the Kidney
Nephron
??
what is controled by adh?
water balance. adh inserts aquaporins (water out to decrease blood osmolalilty)
ADH r/b pituitary, increases water permeability of distal tubule and collecting duct
describe hypothalmus activity through adh activity
-hypothalmus senses thirst mechanism via osmoreceptors
-stim pituitary to secrete adh= released by post pituitary into bloodstream,
-goes to kidney, =increased water permeability at collecting duct and distal tubule in the nephron.=
-ADH leads to aquaporin insertion and water flow
-at these 2 areas back to bloodstream-
-urine could reach 1200 mOsm if needed
what else.........
-with the presence of adh, you reabsorb water and produce a concentrated urine (greater than in blood (290-300mOsm)
-if osmolality in blood is dilute, adh will not be released (you need to rid water and reabsorb sodium. urine will be dilute (100 mOsm)

what are the major ions in the ECF
-sodium (cation)=90%of cations in ECF
-chloride (anion)=major anion, follows the cation (NA) wherever it goes.
What is NA regulated by?
ALdosterone in the adrenals. with low na or high k (countertransported via the na-k pump leading to release of K=
what are the char of aldosterone?
is increased socium reabsorbtion in distal tubule and collecting duct.
what are the char of aldosterone?
-low NA or high K is detected in blood
-adrenals are stimulated to release aldosterone
-aldosterone goes to distal and collecting duct to cause..
-increases Na eabsorption (& usually water follows NA) by distal tubule and collecting duct
-K+ then gets moved out and into urine decreasing serum k+
-this increases osmolality back to normal
Give example
If your blood volume and BP are high, your kidney should be stimulated to get rid of volume. you have to have a mech to lose the sodium and have water follow.
-ie atrial stretcing/high volume
-ie. natriuretic hormone (from atrial muscle) promotes NA excretion
List Abnormalities in Tonicity
1)Isotonic (no change in cell volume)
2) Hypertonic (cell shrinks)
3)Hypotonic (cell swells)
Describe in detail Isotonic alteration
-have to lose equal amnts of solute/Na and water. Mechanism is gain or loss of ECF, so osmolality hasnt changed, volume should not change
What are the causes of depletion in isotonic alterations?
-Hemorrhage
-hypovolemia
-Hypovolemic shock
=loss of osmolytes and water
What are the causes of Excess in isotonic alterations?
-Conn's disease(affects aldosterone)/tumors, excess IV=hypervolemia which causes Pulm edema, wt gain decreased hct
-
What constitutes hypertonic abnormality/
def=
NA gain, water loss
causes
=hyperosmotic saline
=hyperaldosteronism (lots reabsorbed NA, water not following-peeing it)
-=hypovolemia
What are the results of hypertonic abnormalities?
-RESULT
=water moves to ECF due to gradient set up by sodium movement to ECF
=dehydration in your cells (cells shrink)
=convulsions and edema due to intracellular dehydration
describe hypertonicity caused by hypernatremia
def=NA gain, above 147, resultinng in water loss in icf, causes =

-dehydration in cells
-convulsions and edema
IN water deficit hypertonicity, what is the definition?
Increased water clearance (leads to Na levels higher outside of the cell-causing water to move out)
IN water deficit hypertonicity, what are the causes?
Renal desease
DI
IN water deficit hypertonicity, what does it result in?
hypovolemia intracellularly
IN Hyperchloremia hypertonic state, what is mechanism?
-With too much NA (CL follows), or deficit of HCO3 (if u have ecf deficit of hco3, it has movede into the cell, cl is then countertransported out of the cell.
what does hyperchloremia result in?
Increases in CL (& NA) result in increased osmotic pressure, pulls fluid,=cellular dehydration=convulsions and edema.

hyperkalemia=ECF>5.5 mMol
what are causes of hypokalemia
-decreased intake
-increased k entry-more k moving into than supposed to as in alkalosis. u can decrease your ph, correct your alkalosis, via bringing protons out of the cell, via k-proton exchanger (k in, proton out)
-increased k loss via vomitting and diarrhea
