normal range for magnesium

1.3-2.1mEq/L

Normal range for calcium

9-10.5mg/dl

normal range for chloride

95-105

normal range for potassium

3.5-5.0

noraml range for sodium

135-145

what are the 2 major compartments

extracellular and intracellular

most water is located within the

intracellular compartment

extracellular is outside

of the cell sand is 37% total body water

between cells is

interstital fluid

transcellular fluid is extracellular fluid and includes

csf, aqueous and vitreous humors in the eyes, synovial joint fluid serous fluid in body cavities

extracellular fluids contain high concentrations of sodium

chloride and bicarbonate ions

intracellular fluid has higher concentrations of

potassium, phosphate and magnesium

water and electrolytes can move

from one compartment to the next

water balance exists when intake equals

output

average adult intakes

2500ml/24hr

the thirst center is in the

HYPOTHALAMUS

kidneys are primary regulator of

water output

water regulation occurs mainly through the action of

ADH on collecting ducts

when the body water content is low the posterior pituitary

graldn releases ADH

when body water content is high the secretion of ADH decreases, what is the result?

less water absorbed, excess H2O eliminated

deficency of body water is

dehydration

dehydration occurs when the body output exceeds

intake

water accumulation in the lungs is called

pulmonary edema

cerebral edema causes intercranial pressure

and evidence of neurological dysfunction

fluid shifts because of the pushing and pulling

forces affecting the capillaries

daily measurement of body weight provides a

reliable estimate of fluid balance

1 liter of water equals

2.2 pounds

First spacing is normal

distribution of water

second spacing is accumulationin

interstital spaces

3rd spacing water in spaes in which it

isnt easily absorbed

electrolyte balance exists when amounts of various electrolytes gained by the body

equal amount lost

kidneys control composition of body fluids by regulating the renal excretion of

electrolytes

sodium is the chief

extracellular cation

sodium maintains body fluid balance necessary for

nerve impulse

aldosterone stimulates the distal tubule of the

nephron unit to reabsorb sodium

aldosterone causes reabsorpiton of

H2O and Na+

Hypernatremia refers to excess

na+ in the blood and is the result of excess water loss or increased na+ intake

Hyponaturemia refers to decrease in

plasma na+

normal plasma Na+ levels are essential for normal

brain function

Potassium is the cheif

intracellular cation

the kidney is theprimary organ responsible for excretion of

K+

potassium is located in the

extracellular space

Hyperkalemia refers to excess

K+

what is the primary cause of hyperkalemia?

kidney disease

hyperkalemia is treated by dialysis

IV of insulin glucose solution

diaylsis removes what from the blood

it removes K+

IV solution drives glucose and K+ into the cells

lowering plasma levels of K+

Hypokalemia refers to a lower amount of K+

within the blood

what is the most common cause of hypokalemia?

potassium loosing diuretics

potassium spareers cause

hyperkalemia

Calium is necerssary for

bone and teeth growth

parathyroid hormone is primarily regulator of

plasma levels of calcium

Magnesium is the most abundent cation in

intracellular fluid

chloride is an extracellular

anion

chloride usually follows sodium

passively

when the plasma chloride levels decrease(hypochloremia) the plasma bicarbonate level

increases and causes alkalosis

most H+ comes from the bodys chemical reactions

during metabolism

when glucose is metabolized in the presence of oxygen it produces

CO2, water and energy

CO2 combines with water and forms

an acid

what are the 3 mechanisms used to regulate the bodys PH?

buffers, lungs, kidneys

The first line of defense is

the buffers

a buffer is a chemical substance that

prevents a large change in PH

the lungs are the

second line of defense

With a decrease in resp rate it decreases ph and the body retains

CO2

CO2 combines with H2O to form

H+

increase in H+ causes

ph to decrease

CO2 retention causes formation of H+ and a decrease in ph,

basis for development of repiratory acidosis

an increase in resp rate gives you an increase in

ph

Increase in resp rate the body will

blow off CO2

A decrease in CO2 causes a decrease in H+ and an

increase in PH, this is the basis for resp alkalosis

the 3rd line of defense in regulatio is

the kidneys

kidneys help regulate ph by reabsorbing

or excreting H+ as needed

kidneys help regulate

bicarbonate

patients in kidney failure are often

acidotic

a decrease in plasma PH below 7.35 is

acidosis

what are the 2 types of acidosis

metabolis and respiratory

respiratory acidosis is caused by any condition that decreases

the effectiveness of the resp system or causes prolonged hypoventilation

Hypoventilation increases plasma levels of CO2, excess CO2 forms H+, decreases PH

and causes acidosis

to correct acidosis the buffer system removes some of the excess H+ then the kidneys

secrete excess. renal comp of resp acidosis

metabolic acidosis is a decrease in PH caused by

nonrespiratory conditions

Normal range for PaCo2

35-45mmhg
