|
Where is Aldosterone secreted
|
Adrenal cortex
|
|
When the volume of IF reaches abnormal levels resulting in tissue swelling
|
Edema
|
|
What does Aldosterone mechanism do?
|
restores normal extracellular fluid (ECF) volume when such levels decrease below normal by increasing Na+ reabsorption by the kidney tubules
|
|
Excess Aldosterone leads to what
|
excess ECF volume--that is, excess blood volume (hypervolemia) and excess IF (edema)--and also leads to an excess of the total Na+ content of the body
|
|
type of fluid output that changes most
|
urine volume
|
|
average daily diet contains how much sodium Na+
|
100 mEq
|
|
Chief regulator of Na+ in the body
|
Kidney's
|
|
Of the trhree main body fluids, which fluid varies the most
|
IF
|
|
Natrium
|
Sodium Na+
|
|
Hypernatremia
|
Blood sodium Na+ level of more than 145mEq/L
|
|
Hyponatremia
|
Blodd Sodium Na+ level below 136 mEq/L
|
|
May result from overuse of salt tablets, dehydration, or prolonged diarrhea
|
Hypernatremia
|
|
Characterized by a relative deficit of water to salt in the extracellular fluid
|
Hypernatremia
|
|
Occurs when there is relatively too much water in the extracellular fluid compartment for the amount of sodium present
|
Hyponatremia
|
|
This can occur if excessive antidiuretic hormone is produced or after massive infusion of IV fluids, such as 5% dextrose in water
|
Hyponatremia
|
|
May be caused by excessive salt loss resulting from burns or certain diuretics, characterized by headache, confusion, seizures, and, in the most severe cases, coma and death
|
Hyponatremia
|
|
Normal range for potassium K+ in blood is
|
3.8 to 5.1 mEq/L
|
|
Clinical term used to describe blood potassium levels of more than 5.1 mEq/L
|
Hyperkalemia
|
|
Kalium
|
Potassium K+
|
|
Clinical manifestations of hyperkalemia
|
muscle malfunction progressing to skeletal muscles weakening and paralysis develops. Severe results in cardiac arrest
|
|
refers to a low blood potassium K+ level below 3.8 mEq/L
|
Hypokalemia
|
|
Causes of Hypokalemia
|
Fasting, fad diets low in dietary potassium K+, abuse of laxatives and certain diuretics in extreme weight loss programs, or by loss of potassium because of diarrhea, vomitting, or gastric suction.
|
|
Most abundant mineral in the body
|
Calcium Ca++
|
|
Normal range for serum Ca++
|
8.4 to 10.5 mg/dl
|
|
When blood calcium Ca++ rise above normal limits
|
Hypercalcemia
|
|
Causes of Hypercalcemia
|
Excessive input or by increased absorption that may occur following an overdose of vitamin D
|
|
Effects of Hypercalcemia
|
Decreases neuromuscular irritability resulting in fatigue, muscle weakness, diminished reflexes, and delayed atrioventricular conduction in the heart
|
|
May result from dietary calcium Ca++ deficiency, decreased absorption or availability, and as a result of increased calcium excretion.
|
Hypocalcemia
|
|
Organic compounds such as glucose that do not break up or dissociate in water solution
|
Nonelectrolytes
|
|
Compounds such as ordinary table salt, or sodium chloride NaCl, that have molecular bonds that permit them to break up or dissociate in water solution into separate particles
|
Electrolytes
|
