Indicator Dilution Principle
All you need to know is the volume and conc of the indicator and the concentration of the indicator in the compartment after it disperses.

Valid if:
Indicator disperses only in compartment measured
Indicator disperses evenly in compartment
Indicator not metabolized or excreted
Measuring Body Fluid Compartments
Total Body water can be determined by injecting:
deuterium (D2O), tritium (3H2O), antipyrine (C11H12N2O)
- which is lipid sol.
Control of Body Fluid Distribution hydrostatic vs colloidal press
Distribution across cell membranes:
determined by osmotic forces
(mainly from electrolytes)

Distribution across capillaries:
determined by hydrostatic and
colloid osmotic forces
Osmoles

Avagadro’s #
Concentration (numbers of) osmotically active solute particles regardless of composition in a solution
1 osmole = 1 mole of solute particles 6.02x1023
1 mole of glucose has 6.02x1023 molecules of glucose per liter
One mole of salt has twice as many particles because it dissociates
Effects of solutions on Cell Volume
isotonic= no chane
hypotonic=cell swells
hypertonic=cell

Know avagadro’s #…6.023
Osmotic Pressure (Π)

Π = CRT
C = concentration (osm/L)
R = gas constant (62.3 if Π = mmHg)
T = Kelvino = 273o + Co
= 310o (normal body temp.)
Π = 19,300 mmHg / Osm

If C = mOsm/L,
Π= C x 19.3 mmHg

So, for 1 milliosmole, the pressure pushing water toward the solute, is 19.3mmHg
Hydrostatic pressure differences have a ____ effect on fluid movement across cell membrane
small
H2O moves across cell membranes ______
easily
Normal plasma [Na+] =
140-145 mmol / L
Consequences of Hyponatremia and Hypernatremia
Water moves in and out of cells
→ cells swell or shrink
Rapid swelling can cause herniation
Because the skull is rigid, the brain cannot
increase its volume by more than 10% without
being forced down the neck (herniation).

Rapid shrinking can tear vessels and cause hemorrhage
Defense of Cell Volume
Extracellular hypertonicity increases expression of genes encoding proteins that increase intracellular osmoles.
Membrane transporters (Na+-H+- exchanger)
Enzymes (e.g. aldose reductase that synthesize intracellular solutes (e.g. sorbital)

Clinical significance: Rapid changes in extracellular fluid
tonicity alter cell volume and cause neurologic
complications, while slow changes have much less
effect on cell volume and much less clinical effect.
Hypernatremia
With Decreased Extracellular Fluid Volume
(water loss: hyperosmotic cellular dehydration – diab insipidus, excessive sweating)

With Increased Extracellular Fluid Volume
( NaCl excess: hyperosmotic overhydration – Cushing’s, aldosteronism)

lab values: Hematocrit, plasma proteins
Urine volume
Hypernatremia

With Decreased Extracellular Fluid Volume
(water loss: hyperosmotic dehydration)
Increased hematocrit, plasma proteins

Small volume of concentrated urine
- dehydration, excess sweating

Large volume of dilute urine - diabetes insipidus
- lack of ADH (“central” diabetes insipidus)
- “nephrogenic” diabetes insipidus
Hypernatremia
With Increased Extracellular Fluid Volume
( NaCl excess: hyperosmotic overhydration)
Primary aldosteronism
Cushing’s syndrome

Decreased hematocrit, plasma proteins
Usually the Hypernatremia is mild in these examples,
but the person may have very low plasma K +
(hypokalemia).
Hyponatremia

With Decreased Extracellular Fluid Volume
( NaCl Loss: hypo-osmotic dehydration)
diarrhea, vomiting
Addison’s disease (decreased aldosterone)
overuse of diuretics
sodium wasting renal diseases

Increased hematocrit, plasma proteins
Hyponatremia

With Increased Extracellular Fluid Volume
(water excess: hypo-osmotic overhydration)
Inappropriate ADH syndrome
Bronchogenic tumors
Fibrosing tuberculosis lung lesions
Circulatory failure (e.g., congestive heart
failure)

Decreased hematocrit, plasma proteins
Intracellular Edema
Inflammation of tissues (increased cell
membrane permeability)

Inadequate tissue nutrition
(e.g. ischemia)

Depression of tissue metabolic systems
(e.g. hypothyroidism)

Hyponatremia
Causes of Extracellular Edema (increased interstitial fluid volume)
Increased Capillary Filtration

Failure of lymphatics to Return
Interstitial Fluid to Circulation
Causes of Increased Capillary Filtration
Increased cap permeability:
toxins, ischemic damage, infections, etc.
Increased cap pressure
increased arterial pressure, excess fluid retention,
decreased arteriolar resistance
increased venous resistance, increased venous pressure – rt. hrt. failure
Decreased plasma proteins:
nephrotic syndrome
cirrhosis
malnutrition
Safety Factors Against Edema
Low compliance of interstitium when = 3 mmHg
interstitial fluid pressure is negative

Increased lymph flow = 7 mmHg

“ Washdown” of interstitial protein = 7 mmHg
at high lymph flow rates

Total Safety factor = 17 mmHg

The interstitial ‘gel matrix’ helps as well----gel ha low compliance, free fluid has high compliance
Edema
Pitting – when the fluid in tissue is free and able to be squeezed out of a thumb print. It takes a short while to refill
Non-pitting – the fluid is in the cells themselves, or the fluid in the interstitium is full of fibrin
