APPROACH TO FLUID , ELECTROLYTES AND ACID BASE DISORDERS DR.S.SHIVAKUMAR PROF.OF.MEDICINE STANLEY MEDICAL COLLEGE & HOSPITAL
INTRODUCTION: • Fluid & Electrolytes can occur as single or multiple disorders • Hyponatremia is a very common disorder • Pottassium disorders can be life threatening • Acid base disorders common in ICU & medical wards • Choice of fluid therapy should be appropriate • Treat individual disorders, but should be combined in multiple disorders.
APPROACH: • Disorders of volume - Volume depletion - Fluid overload • Dysnatremia - Hyponatremia / Hypernatremia • Dyskalemia - Hypokalemia / Hyperkalemia • Acid base disorders Acidosis Alkalosis Metabolic/ Respiratory Metabolic / Respiratory
CLINICAL APPROACH: • CLINICAL FEATURES: • Volume depletion ------- Skin turgor loss / Hypotension • Volume excess -------- Oedema / HT • Hyponatremia/ Hypernatremia ------ CNS Manifestations • Hypokalemia ----- Muscle weakness • Hyperkalemia ---- Cardiac arrythmias Metabolic acidosis Respiratory alkalosis Hyperventilation
FLUID & ELECTROLYTE HOMEOSTASIS • Regulation of Volume (Na+) Na+ GFR Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone Renal retention of Na+ • ECF Volume is regulated by Na.( BP & Interstitial volume) 2.Regulation of Osmolality ( Water) H2O Osm ADH Kidney retains H2O ICF Volume is regulated by osmolarity of plasma. Normal plasma osmolarity = 285-300 mOsm/L Calculation= 2(Na + K)+ Sugar/18+Urea/6 Ratio of Na+ to H2O decides plasma osmolality. 3.Regulation of Acid Base:
VOLUME & OSMOLALITY DISORDERS: • Volume Disorders: Only clinical signs(PNa+- Normal) • Volume depletion ---- ECF Na+ loss ( Diarrhea,Diuretics ) • Volume excess ----- Na Retention( Cardiac failure, renal failure) Osmolar Disorders:- Plasma Na+ altered. 1. Water Excess ---- Hyponatremia (SIADH) 2.Water depletion -- Hypernatremia ( D.Insipidus ) • Volume & Osmolar Disorders: (Clinical & Altered P. Na+) • Volume depletion & Water excess – ECF Na loss & H2O retention / Hyponatremia ( Diarrhea & 5%GDW) • Volume depletion & excess water depletion - Na < H2O loss / Hypernatremia (HONK )
Normal 20% (ECF) 40% (ICF) INTRACELLULAR VASCULAR (4%) Interstitial (16%) Total body sodium determines ECF Volume. Plasma Na determines ICF volume. Plasma osmolarity (PNa+) determines fluid movement into cell.
Volume depletion (ECF ) Normal PNa+ INTRACELLULAR Loss of skin turgor Hypotension 40% 10% Eg: Diarrhea, Vomiting & Diuretics Total body Na loss leads ECF volume depletion. No change in plasma Na.
Volume excess (ECF ) Normal PNa+ 30% 40% edema INTRACELLULAR HT Eg: Cardiac failure,Nephrotic syndrome, Renal failure & Cirrhosis Increased total body Na leads to ECF volume excess. Plasma Na normal
Hyponatremia (ICF ) 45 % INTRACELLULAR PNa+ 20% Eg: SIADH Increased ADH Increased total body H2O leads to decreased plasma Na ( Osmolarity ) Increased ICF due to shift of H2O from ECF to ICF.
Hypernatremia (ICF ) 20% 30% PNa INTRACELLULAR Eg: D.Insipidus Polyuria Pure water depletionDecreased body H2O leads to increased plasma Na ( Osmolarity) H2O shifts from ICF to ECF.
Volume depletion & Hyponatremia (ECF & ICF ) 45 % Hypotension, skin turgor loss, Drowsiness INTRACELLULAR H2O PNa 10 % Na + Eg: Diarrhea, replaced by 5 % GDW Total body Na decreased by Diarrhea Increasaed H2O retention due to 5 % GDW ( Plasma Na low) ECF volume depletion + Increased ICF volume
Volume excess & Hyponatremia ( ECF & ICF ) 25 % 45 % INTRACELLULAR H2O edema & P Na + Eg: Cirrhosis + 5 % GDW Cirrhosis leads to increased total body Na & ECF Excess H2O leads to decreased plasma Na & increased ICF
Volume depletion & Hyperosmolarity ( ECF & ICF ) 30 % 10% INTRACELLULAR Osmolarity Na+ H2O Eg: Hyperosmolar Non- Ketotic syndrome ( DM) Polyuria of DM leads to ECF volume depletion ( H2O> Na) Increased plasma Glucose leads to hyperosmolarity & ICF depletion Plasma Na can be Normal OR High ( Instead of being low)
Why do we need fluids? FLUIDS --- Healthy individuals ---Regulation of temperature --- loss by sweating ---Excretion of waste products -- Renal / GI 1.5 – 2.5 L / Day Salt – 5 gm / day Sick patients: 1.Replacement for losses --- GI losses – Vomiting / Diarrhea --Renal losses -- DKA / Diuretics -- Skin loss – Burns / sweating 2.Maintenance --- for daily requirements
Volume depletion • Isotonic volume depletion • Diarrhea • Vomiting Hypotonic volume depletion Hypertonic volume depletion Diarrhea replaced by H2O D.Insipidus HONK DKA Excess sweating PNa H2O > Na loss PNa-Normal Na+ = H2O loss PNa H2O < Na loss
ISOTONIC VOLUME DEPLETION: Causes - vomiting / Diarrhea Assess severity - mild / moderate / severe Body weight: 5 %- mild : skin turgor loss / dry Tongue 5 % - 10 % : Mild + postural hypotension 10 % - severe: moderate + hypotension Correction: Volume depletion: 0 - 8 hrs 0- 1 hrs --- shock 1- 8 hrs -- rest of calculated fluids 8- 24 hrs -- maintanance fluids & concurrent losses Choice of fluids: Diarrhea --- RL Vomiting - 0.9 % NaCl
A 50 year old male is admitted for severe diarrhea of 3 days duration. He is drowsy & has loss of skin turgor & dry mouth. BP: 80 / 50 mmHg.Lungs are clear. • Urea : 72 mg% S.Cr : 1.7 mg% Na+ : 122 meq/L • K+ : 2.6 mg% • Ph: 7.2 pCo2 : 32mmHg pO2 : 100 mmHg • HCO3 :12 mmHg • Problems: • Severe volume depletion • Hyponatremia • Hypokalemia • Metabolic acidosis • Azotemia- prerenal
50 year Individual ( 50 kg) Severe Volume depletion - 10 % - 5 L Diarrhea – Na, K, HCO3 loss Replacement fluids - RL 0-1 hr – 1 L ( Treatment of Shock) 1- 8 hr – 4 L Maintanence fluid + concurrent loss : 1.5 – 2.5 L ( 8- 24 Hrs) Decreased Na – Corrected by Volume correction RL – Lactate HCO3 in liver
Hypertonic volume depletion ( Volume depletion & water depletion - PNa ) Na < H2O Depletion Pure H2O depletion Extrarenal Insensible losses Renal DI NDI Extra renal ( sweating) Esp.pt not taking oral fluids • Renal loss • DKA • HONK • Salt losing nephritis Treatment -- HONK / DKA – 0.45 % NaCl -- 0.9 % NaCl + 5 % GDW D.Insipidus---- 5 % GDW
Hyponatremia Hypovolemia Euvolemia Hypervolemia Diuretics Diarrhea Post-operative SIADH Drugs CNS & Pulmonary diseases (Menstruating women) CCF Nephrotic syndrome Cirrhosis

ABG Disorders: Diagnosis – Ph, HCO3, Pco2 1. Check validity 2. Obtain minimal diagnosis 3. Is it a single or mixed ABG disorder 4. Determine Anion Gap 5.Is it a triple ABG Disorder
Obtain minimum diagnosis • Look at pH - Acidosis / Alkalosis • Match the Pco2 or Hco3 - Metabolic / Respiratory
Is it a simple or mixed Acid-base disorder? Simple Disorder :
Example – COPD & Diarrhea pH : 7.00 Pco2 = 32 Hco3 = 8 Fall in Hco3 = 24 – 8 = 16 Compensatory Fall in Pco2 = 16 x 1.2 = 19 Anticipated Pco2 = 40 – 19 = 21 Estimated : Pco2 = 32 (Pco2 ) Diagnosis Mixed - Metabolic acidosis + Respiratory acidosis
Determine the Anion gap AG = Na+– (Hco3 + Cl ) Normal = 12 ± 4 ( 8 16 ) Valuable in Metabolic acidosis – High gap / Normal gap Metabolic alkalosis – Evaluation of “Starting Hco3” High gap acidosis : AG > 27 mEq /L 17 26 Suggestive eg. – Ketoacidosis, Lactic acidosis, Methanol intoxication, Renal failure Normal gap acidosis – Diarrhea, RTA
