Study Notes
Renal Fluids Lecture
-
Learning Outcomes:
- Describe human body fluid compartments and the importance of fluid balance.
- Differentiate between types of fluids and their uses.
- Apply fluid balance concepts to manage fluid imbalances.
Homeostasis
- Fluid Balance: Maintaining normal fluid volume in the body.
- Electrolyte Balance: Regulating concentrations of ions (e.g., sodium, potassium).
- Osmotic Balance: Balancing solute concentrations across cell membranes.
- Acid-Base Balance: Maintaining proper pH levels in body fluids.
General Principles
- Diffusion: Movement of particles from high to low concentration areas.
- Osmosis: Movement of water towards higher electrolyte concentration.
- Osmotic Pressure: Pressure needed to prevent solvent migration.
Body Fluids and Compartments
- Total Body Water: 60% of body weight.
- Intracellular Fluid (ICF): 40% of body weight, 80% of extracellular fluid.
- Extracellular Fluid (ECF): 20% of body weight, 20% of extracellular fluid (intravascular and interstitial - between different body tissues).
Practical Example 1
-
Calculate the fluid content in compartments in a 70-kg adult male.
- Total Body Water (60% of BW): 42 liters
- Intracellular Fluid (40% of BW): 28 liters
- Extracellular Fluid (20% of BW): 14 liters
Age-Related Fluid Changes
- Infants: 80% body water content
- Adults: 60% body water content
- Older Adults: 40% body water content
Fluid Balance Mechanisms
- Hydrostatic Pressure: Fluid movement due to pressure differentials.
- Osmotic Pressure: Fluid movement due to solute concentration differences.
- Homeostasis: Body regulates volumes, solute charge, and osmotic load.
Solute Homeostasis
- Electrolytes: Charged particles (e.g., Na+, K+, Cl-, HCO3-).
- Non-electrolytes: Uncharged particles (e.g., proteins, urea, glucose, O2, CO2).
Fluid Types: Crystalloids
-
Crystalloids: Balanced salt/electrolyte solutions that pass through semipermeable membranes.
- Types: Isotonic, Hypertonic, Hypotonic solutions.
Isotonic Solution
- No fluid shift due to equal solute concentration. Normal saline (0.9%), Dextrose (5%), Lactated Ringer's, Plasma-Lyte.
Hypotonic Solution
- Lower solute concentration. Fluid shifts into the cells (cell swelling). Example: Normal Saline (0.33%, 0.45%).
Hypertonic Solution
- Higher solute concentration. Fluid shifts out of the cells (cell shrinkage). Example: Hypertonic saline (3%, 5%, 7.5%), Dextrose (10%, 70%).
Fluid Types: Colloids
- High molecular weight solutions that draw fluid into the intravascular compartment via oncotic pressure. Example: Albumin, Hetastarch, Pentastarch, Plasma, and Dextran.
Disturbances of Fluid Homeostasis
-
Fluid Balance (Disturbances):
- Dehydration (hypovolemia)
- Overhydration (hypervolemia)
-
Osmolarity (Disturbances):
- Isotonic, Hyponatremic, Hypernatremic.
Dehydration
- Definition: Loss of body fluids, increased solute concentration in blood.
- Effect: Fluid shifts out of cells, cells shrinking and malfunctioning.
Dehydration: Symptoms and Treatment
- Symptoms: Irritability, confusion, dizziness, thirst, decreased urine output, dry skin, and tachycardia.
- Treatment: Fluid replacement, monitor symptoms, and maintain input and output (I&O); daily weights.
Hypovolemia
- Definition: Isotonic fluid loss from the extracellular space.
- Causes: Excessive fluid loss, decreased intake, and third-space fluid shifting.
- Clinical Presentation/Symptoms: Mental status changes, thirst, tachycardia, delayed capillary refill, orthostatic hypotension.
- Treatment: Fluid replacement, albumin, blood transfusions, vasopressors.
Hypovolemic Shock
- Clinical Presentation: Severe hypovolemia, inadequate tissue perfusion, and organ dysfunction.
- Treatment: Rapid fluid resuscitation, blood products, and addressing the underlying cause.
Hypervolemia
- Definition: Excess fluid in the extracellular compartment due to fluid retention or excessive intake.
- Consequences: Can lead to congestive heart failure (CHF) and pulmonary edema.
Hypervolemia: Symptoms and Treatment
- Symptoms: Tachypnea, dyspnea, crackles, jugular vein distension (JVD), edema, and hypertension.
- Treatment: Fluid and sodium restriction, diuretics, monitor vital signs and lab results.
Overhydration
- Cause: Excessive fluid intake with failure to eliminate it.
- Effects: Decreased sodium concentration and osmolarity, reduced hematocrit.
Case Scenario: Patient Presentation
- Patient: 64-year-old female with recent heart failure diagnosis.
- Medications: Enalapril, metoprolol, furosemide (recently stopped).
- Symptoms: Confusion, tachycardia, tachypnea, edema, crackles, and JVD.
Case Scenario: Diagnosis
- Fluid Imbalance: Hypervolemia
- Cause: Stopping diuretic medication (furosemide).
Case Scenario: Treatment
- Best Option: Restart Lasix (furosemide) and implement water restriction.
- Rationale: Addresses fluid overload and prevents further accumulation.
Key Messages
- Fluid Compartments: Understand body fluid compartments and the importance of fluid balance.
- Fluid Types: Differentiate between fluid types (isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic, and colloids) and their uses.
- Application: Apply fluid balance concepts to manage imbalances effectively.
