amount of water added via ingestion and synthesis

2100 ml/day in food/liquids and 200 ml/day from oxidation of carbs
water loos per day via repiratory tract and skin
700 ml/day; called insensible water loss
water loss in extensive burns
10 fold increase
vapor P of air in lungs
47 mmHg-less than air inspired, hence water loss
normal sweat volume per day
100 ml
normal feces water loss per day
100 ml
urine volme variability in a day
0.5 L to 20 L
extracellular fluid compartents and approx. V
interstitial fluid (11 L), plasma (3L); overall 20% body weight
intracellular fluid approx V
28 of 42 L in body (67%)
transcellular fluid approx V
1-2 L
average blood V of 70 kg adult
5 L
men hematocrit and women hematocrit
.4 and .36
range of hemotocrit with pathology
0.1 anemia, 0.65 polycythemia
most important difference btwn plasma and interstitial fluid
plasma high protein concentration
Donnan effect
concentration of Pos ions is slightly greater in plasma than interstitial fluid (2%); proteins have net neg and bind cations
method of determining V of fluid in body compartment
indicator substance
indicators used for total body water
tritium aka heavy water (few hours), antipyrine
indicators for extracellular fluid volume
radioactive sodium, radioactive chloride, radioactive iothalamate, thiosulfate, inulin (30-60 mins)
indicators for plasma volume
serum albumin radioactively labeled with iodine, dyes that bind plasma proteins (Evans blue dye)
blood volume calculation
plasma volume/(1-hematocrit); or use radioactive labeled RBCs
what occurs if sodium is removed from extracellular fluid
water diffused into cell membranes into cells to balance out osmolarity
difference betweein osmolarity and osmolality in cells
very little difference and can be used almost synonymously
precise amount of P required to prevent osmosis
osmotic P
what is osmotic P used for
indirect measurement of water and solute concentration of a solution
calculation for osmotic pressure
CRT; C is concentration, R is ideal gas constant, T is absolute Temp in Kelvin
how much osmotic P is generated per miliosmole of concentration
19.3 mmHg
what percent of osmolarity in interstitial fluid and plasma is due to Na+ and Cl-
~80%
what percent of osmolarity in cells is due to K+
half
isotonic solutions gien clinically
0.9 percent NaCl solution, 5 percet glucose solution
how long does it take for equilibrium to be reached once drinking water
~30 minutes for osmotic equilibrium

primary measure for evaluating fluid status

plasma sodium concentration
hyponatremia
sodium below normal
what causes hyponatremia
diatthea, vomitingm overuse of diuretics, sodium-wasting diseases (addison), excess water retention (excess ADH)

what causes hypernatremia

lack of ADH (diabetes insipidus), dehydration, excess aldosterone (overhydration)
two conditions known for causing intracellular swelling
1) depression of metabolic systems 2) lack of adequate nutrition
2 general types of extracellular edema
1)abnormal leakage of fluid from plasma to interstitial spaces across capillaries 2) failure of lymphatics to return fluid
Mathematical expression for capillary filtration
Kf(Pc-Pif-πc+πif); Kf is capillary filtration coefficient (permeability times SA), Pc is cap. Hydrostatic P, Pif is interstitial fluid hydrostatic P, πc is cap. Colloid osmotic P, and πif is colloid interstitial fluid osmotic P
What occurs with infection of filaria nematodes
lymph flow becomes impeded
what causes increased capillary P via kidney retention of salt and water
acute/chronic kidney failure, mineralcorticoid excess
what causes increased capillary P via high venous P and venous constriction
Heart failure, venous obstruction, failure of venous pumps (paralysis of muscle, immobilization, value malfunctions)
what causes increased capillary P via decreased arteriorlar resistance
excess body heat, insufficiency of sympathetic NS, vasodilator drugs
What causes decreased plasma proteins
lodd in urine, loss in denuded skin (burns, wounds), failure to produce (liver disease, malnutrition)
What causes increased capillary permeability
immune rxns, toxins, bacterial infections, vit deficiency (especially C), prolonged ishchemia, burns
What causes blockage of lymph return
cancer, infections, surgery, congenital absence or abormaloty of lymph vessels
Cause of edema in Heart failure
raised venous P due to cardiac insufficiency=arterial P falls, decreased salt secretion by kidneys, increased blood volume, increased renin and aldosterone
safety factors peventing edema
1) low compliance of interstitium-3mmHg 2) ability of lymph to increase flow 10-50 fold-7mmHg 3) washdown of interstitial fluid protein concentration-7mmHg
when does nonpitting edema occur
tissue cells swell or fluid in interstitium clotted with fibrin
what occurs to proteins when lymph flow increased
they get 'washed' away with lymph
What is edema in potential spaces called
effusion
