FLUID BALANCE D. C. Mikulecky
FLUID BALANCE • The Balance Concept: Input -Output = Storage/Depletion • Body Fluid Compartments • Regulation of fluid balance • Relation between Salt Balance and ECF Volume
The Balance Concept: Input -Output = Storage/Depletion Storage Internal Pool (ECF Concentration) of substance Excretion Inputs from environment Inside Body Metabolic Production Metabolic Consumption
BODY FLUID COMPARTMENT COMPOSITION Intracellular Fluid Plasma Interstitial Fluid
Regulation of fluid balance • ECF Volume: Maintains blood pressure • ECF Osmolarity: Prevents swelling or shrinking of cells
ECF Volume: Maintains blood pressure - Short Term • A Change in ECF Volume can raise or lower blood pressure • Barorecepter reflexes: Alter Cardiac output and Total Peripheral Resistance leading to a compensatory alteration in blood pressure • Fluid automatically shifts between plasma and interstitial fluid with rises or fall in blood pressure
Relation between Salt Balance and ECF Volume • The total sodium load (quantity of sodium, not its concentration) in the ECF determines the total amount of water that will be osmotically retained • The total sodium load is determined by the balance relation

Control of sodium load • Control of amount filtered by regulating GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) • Control of sodium reabsorption through the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone system
ECF Osmolarity: Prevents swelling or shrinking of cells • ECF hypertonicity is associated with dehydration • ECF hypotonicity is associated with overhydration • Control of water balance is by thirst and vasopressin
