    Study Notes

    Electrolytes and Body Fluids

    • Electrolytes are charged ions in body fluids.
    • Cations are positive ions, and anions are negative ions.
    • Electrolytes are distributed between intracellular (ICF) and extracellular (ECF) fluids.
    • ICF and ECF have different electrolyte concentrations.
    • This difference is crucial for nerve impulse transmission and cell excitability.
    • Body fluids must be electrically neutral (equal positive and negative ions).
    • Electrolytes conduct electrical current (positive: cations, negative: anions).
    • Examples of cations: magnesium, potassium, sodium, calcium, and hydrogen ions.
    • Examples of anions: phosphate, sulfate, chloride, bicarbonate, and proteinate ions.

    Electrolyte Imbalance

    • Electrolyte imbalance can occur due to intake and output imbalances.
    • Illnesses and aging increase the risk of electrolyte imbalance.
    • Plasma electrolyte concentrations can be measured, but intracellular levels cannot.

    Expected Reference Ranges (in Plasma)

    • Sodium: 136–145 mEq/L
    • Calcium: 9.0–10.5 mg/dL
    • Potassium: 3.5–5.0 mEq/L
    • Magnesium: 1.3–2.1 mEq/L
    • Chloride: 98–106 mEq/L
    • Phosphorus: 3.0–4.5 mg/dL

    Sodium Imbalance

    • Sodium (Na+) is the major ECF cation, maintaining ECF osmolarity.
    • ICF sodium is low (approximately 14 mEq/L).
    • The sodium gradient between ICF and ECF is vital for muscle contraction and nerve impulse transmission.
    • Sodium concentration influences fluid movement and retention.
    • Kidney function regulates sodium levels via hormones like aldosterone, ADH, and natriuretic peptide.
