Chapter 26: Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance Chapter 26: Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance Chapter 26 is unusual because it doesn’t introduce much new material, but it reviews and integrates information from earlier chapters to cover 3 types of regulation: regulation of fluid volume, regulation of electrolyte (=ion) concentrations, and regulation of pH. • Outline of slides: • 1. Regulating fluid levels (blood/ECF) • Compartments of the body • Regulation of fluid intake and excretion • 2. Regulating ion concentrations (blood/ECF) • 3. Regulating pH (blood/ECF) • Chemical buffers • Physiological regulation • Respiratory • Renal 1 3 subsections to this chapter – we will cover the middle one only briefly. 1 Ch. 26: Test Question Templates • Q1. Given relevant plasma data, classify a patient’s possible acid-base disorder as a metabolic or respiratory acidosis or alkalosis that is or is not fully compensated. Or, if given such a disorder, give expected plasma pH and CO2 level (high, normal, or low). • Example A: Plasma pH is 7.32, CO2 levels in blood are low. What is this? • Example B: A patient’s plasma has a pH of 7.5. Explain how you could make an additional measurement to determine whether the cause of this unusual pH is metabolic or respiratory. • Example C: A patient’s plasma CO2 levels are very low, yet plasma pH is normal. How can this be? 2 Q1. Example A: (slight) metabolic acidosis. Example B: Measure the CO2 level in the plasma. If the high plasma pH is due to a respiratory problem, the CO2 concentration will be low. If the high pH is NOT due to a respiratory problem, the CO2 will not be low, and may be high if the person is undergoing respiratory compensation for a metabolic alkalosis. Example C: low CO2 levels should normally cause pH to be high, but the normal + pH suggests that either the low CO2 is a compensation for low H secretion and low - + - HCO3 reabsorption, or vice versa (i.e., the low H secretion and low HCO3 reabsorption are a compensation for low CO2). *** Consider an even broader treatment next time? Include cases where CO2 levels are normal but pH is not? 2 • Q2. Given a specific perturbation to a patient’s extracellular fluid, predict the patient’s response in terms of autonomic nervous system output and hormone secretions. • Example. A patient’s body fluids were normal; then she drank a huge amount of pure water. How will this affect the patient’s secretion of antidiuretic hormone and angiotensin II? Explain your reasoning. • Q3. Given a diagram of RAAS, answer questions about it. • Example. Look at Marieb & Hoehn Figure 19.12. What enzymes, if any, are needed to create angiotensin-II? 3 Q2. A large influx of pure water will (at least temporarily) lower ECF fluid osmolarity and raise ECF volume and blood pressure. Since angiotensinogen gets converted to angiotensin II when blood pressure is low, angiotensin II will NOT be elevated in this case. Similarly, since ADH is released in response to high plasma osmolarity or low blood pressure, it will not be elevated either. Q3. Two enzymes are shown here: renin (to convert angiotensinogen to angiotensin-I) and ACE (to convert angiotensin-I to angiotensin-II). 3 Part 1: Regulation of body fluid [an example to illustrate the challenge of body fluid homeostasis] • At rest, the human heart’s cardiac output is ~5000 mL/min (5 L/min). • ~20% of all cardiac output goes to the kidneys, so the kidneys receive 1000 mL/min. • ~50% of all blood is plasma, and ~20% of plasma is filtered from the glomeruli into nephron tubules. • Thus, if there was no reabsorption of water, you would produce 1000*0.5*0.2 = 100 mL of urine PER MINUTE (144 L/day). • Q1. How much urine do you actually produce per day? • Q2. Given Q1, how good is your body at fluid regulation? 4 Q1. Most people produce 1-2 liters per day. Q2. VERY good! 4 Fluid is spread among 3 compartments Amerman (2016), Figure 25.2 (like Marieb & Hoehn Figure 26.1) 5 We note on the next slide that plasma + interstitial fluid = ECF. 5 What is the chemical composition of the fluid in these compartments? Q1. How similar, chemically, are the plasma, interstitial fluid, and intracellular fluid? Q2. Does it matter whether chemoreceptors sense plasma or interstitial fluid? Q3. Given Q1-Q2, do we have a term for plasma + ISF? Marieb & Hoehn (2019), Figure 26.2 6 Q1. The plasma and interstitial fluid are quite similar to each other (except for protein anions) and quite different from the intracellular fluid. Q2. Chemoreceptors would report similar results in either location. (Baroreceptors would report very different results, though. To monitor blood pressure you’d need to have the receptors in the blood itself.) Q3. Extracellular fluid (ECF) is plasma + interstitial fluid. 6 How do we sense and control ECF volume? • We can’t directly sense it. (We don’t have an internal graduated cylinder…) • Two variables provide indirect indications. • Blood pressure • If BP is low, ECF volume may be low too. • ECF osmolarity • If osmolarity is high (e.g., due to sweating), volume may be low too. • If we keep BP and ECF osmolarity near their setpoints, ECF volume should be OK too. Regulated variable Receptor type Receptor location(s) Blood pressure ECF osmolarity 7 Read through this slide. *** BP: baroreceptors; aortic arch, carotid artery, afferent arterioles (JG cells) in kidneys. Osmolarity: osmoreceptors; hypothalamus. 7 Details: osmoreceptors (in hypothalamus) Q1. Which receptors sense changes in cell size/shape? (A) chemoreceptors, (B) mechanoreceptors, (C) nociceptors, (D) photoreceptors, (E) thermoreceptors Q2. Are osmoreceptors neurons? Image: Physiology of Behavior by Neil R. Carlson 8 How can the body sense osmolarity, the sum of all solutes? Follow the water. *** Q1. mechanoreceptors. Q2. Yes. “Change in firing rate of axon” is referring to action potentials, which only neurons do. (Also, sensory receptors are always neurons except for most of the special senses.) 8 Now: How do the receptors lead to effector responses? Q1. What conditions would cause the most thirst? Marieb & Hoehn (2019), Figures 26.5 and 26.6 9 Increased ECF osmolarity => osmoreceptors => thirst and ADH. *** Low BP => baroreceptors => ADH … and angiotensin-II?! *** Q1. High ECF osmolarity combined with low BP would cause maximum activation of the hypothalamic thirst center. *** So what’s the deal with angiotensin-II? Is it just another way of increasing thirst? No, there’s more… 9 Integrated control of blood pressure and ECF osmolarity: the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) GFR = glomerular filtration rate. Blood vessel Amerman (2016), Figure 24.14 (like Marieb & Hoehn Figure 19.12) 10 Start with the big picture: input is low BP and output is angiotension-II, which corrects the low BP (see next slide). Then do the details. *** 2 enzymes here! (Note convention that names hover above the reactions they catalyze.) *** JG cells (also called granular cells) are in the afferent arteriole wall (macula densa cells are in the tubule wall). The JG cells are the ones that directly sense BP and release renin if BP is low. 10 What does Angiotensin-II do? Redundant and non-redundant effects Marieb & Hoehn (2019), Figure 19.12 11 Osmolarity changes also promote ADH release and thirst, but there are two additional effects shown here too: aldosterone release and vasoconstriction. *** Additional effect of AT-II not shown in figure: increased sodium reabsorption in the PCT. 11 2 types of fluid loss: how does bleeding compare to sweating? BLEEDING SWEATING Solute concentration of fluid lost (hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic to blood) Change in blood osmolarity? Change in blood pressure? Will RAAS be activated? Will person be thirsty? Will ADH be released? 12 Fluid lost: isotonic (B), hypotonic (S). Blood osmolarity: no change (B), increases (S). BP: drops (B), drops (S). RAAS activation: yes (B), yes (S). Thirsty: somewhat (B), YES! (S). ADH: somewhat (B), YES! (S). 12 Further perturbations to blood volume and ECF osmolarity… What would happen if a patient who had lost blood was given pure water, rather than isotonic saline? Q1. Immediate effect on blood pressure? Q2. Immediate effect on osmolarity? Q3. Response to altered osmolarity? 13 Q1. BP rises. Q2. Osmolarity drops. Q3. Osmoreceptors sense lower osmolarity => person not thirsty. ADH not secreted => copious dilute urine. The extra H2O essentially gets peed out. 13 Part 2: Regulating ion (electrolyte) concentrations This is important … but consequences are not always straightforward! Marieb & Hoehn (2019) 14 Part 2 (next 3 slides): regulating ion levels. 14 Q1. Find the hormones listed in the table that are important in regulating Na+, K+, and Ca2+ levels. Q2. As we have seen, calcium plays important roles in motor neurons, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle. Before consulting the table, predict the consequences of hypercalcemia. Q3. Now look at the table. Was your prediction right? (It’s OK if not!) Marieb & Hoehn (2019) 15 Q1. Na+ and K+: aldosterone. Ca2+: PTH and vitamin D. Q2. Answers will vary, but one might guess that hypercalcemia could lead to excessive muscle contraction, excessive neurotransmitter release, etc. Q3. Answers will vary, but, perhaps in contrast to some expectations, hypercalcemia results in DECREASED activity of motor neurons and muscle cells. (This is because calcium can block sodium channels, interfering with depolarization.) *** Bottom line: if these ions get too concentrated or too dilute, there are symptoms (not always easy to link to the ion perturbation per se). 15 Summary of Na+ and K+ regulation (one simple example of electrolyte regulation) Q1. Where along the nephron do aldosterone’s effects occur? Q2. Would Addison’s Disease cause hypernatremia, hyperkalemia, both, or neither? Marieb & Hoehn (2019), Figure 26.8 16 Q1.

It is by its presence that all the exchanges between plasma and the cells are performed. With the vascular, lymphatic and nervous systems, it seems to be the fourth communication way of information's between all the cells. No direct methods for sampling interstitial fluid are currently available. The composition of interstitial fluid, which constitutes the environment of the cells and is regulated by the electrical process of electrochemistry. This has previously been sampled by the suction blister or liquid paraffin techniques or by implantation of a perforated capsule or wick. The results have varied, depending on the sampling technique and animal species investigated. In one study, the ion distribution between vascular and interstitial compartments agreed with the Donnan equilibrium; in others, the concentrations of sodium and potassium were higher in interstitial fluid than in plasma. The concentration of protein in interstitial fluid is lower than in plasma, and the free ion activities theoretically differ from those of plasma because of the Donnan effect. In spite of these differences, and for practical reasons only, plasma is used clinically to monitor fluid and electrolytes. The relation between plasma and interstitial fluid is important in treating patients with abnormal plasma volume or homeostasis.

  • Acid-Base Disorders Made So Easy Even a Caveman Can Do It
    ACID-BASE DISORDERS MADE SO EASY EVEN A CAVEMAN CAN DO IT Lorraine R Franzi, MS/HSM, RD, LDN, CNSD Nutrition Support Specialist University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Pittsburgh, PA I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES The clinician after participating in the roundtable will be able to: 1) Indicate whether the pH level indicates acidosis or alkalosis. 2) State whether the cause of the pH imbalance is respiratory or metabolic. 3) Identify if there is any compensation for the acid-base imbalance. II. INTRODUCTION Acid-Base balance is an intricate concept which requires an intimate and detailed knowledge of the body’s metabolic pathways used to eliminate the H+ ion. Clinicians may find it daunting to understand when first introduced to the subject. This roundtable session will demonstrate how to analyze blood gas levels in a very elementary manner so as to diagnose any acid-base disorder in a matter of minutes. The body is in a constant state of flux delicately stabilizing the pH so as to maintain its normalcy. In order to prevent untoward effects of alkalosis or acidosis the body has three major buffering systems that it uses to adjust the pH. They are: 1) Plasma protein (Prot-) 2) Plasma hemoglobin (Hb-) 3) Bicarbonate (HCO3-) The Bicarbonate-Carbonic acid system is the most dominate buffering system and controls the majority of the hydrogen ion (H+) equilibrium. Maintaining homeostasis when these acid-base shifts occur is vital to survival. Metabolic and respiratory processes work in unison to keep the H+ normal and static. II. ACID-BASE ABNORMALITIES The four principal acid-base imbalances are illustrated in Table 1.

Abe b, Tobias Wang a,b,* a Department of Zoophysiology, The University of Aarhus, Denmark b Departamento de Zoologia, Instituto de Biocieˆncias, UNESP, Rio Claro, SP, Brazil Received 17 May 2005; received in revised form 30 September 2005; accepted 2 October 2005 Available online 10 November 2005 Abstract Digestion is associated with gastric secretion that leads to an alkalinisation of the blood, termed the ‘‘alkaline tide’’. Numerous studies on À different reptiles and amphibians show that while plasma bicarbonate concentration ([HCO3 ]pl) increases substantially during digestion, arterial pH (pHa) remains virtually unchanged, due to a concurrent rise in arterial PCO2 (PaCO2) caused by a relative hypoventilation. This has led to the suggestion that postprandial amphibians and reptiles regulate pHa rather than PaCO2. Here we characterize blood gases in the South American rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus) during digestion and following systemic infusions of NaHCO3 and HCl in fasting animals to induce a metabolic alkalosis or acidosis in fasting animals. The magnitude of these acid–base disturbances À À 1 were similar in magnitude to that mediated by digestion and exercise. Plasma [HCO3 ] increased from 18.4T1.5 to 23.7T1.0 mmol L during digestion and was accompanied by a respiratory compensation where PaCO2 increased from 13.0T0.7 to 19.1T1.4 mm Hg at 24 h.

  • Respiratory Considerations in the Patient with Renal Failure
    Respiratory Considerations in the Patient With Renal Failure David J Pierson MD FAARC Introduction Physiologic Connections Between the Lungs and the Kidneys Diseases That Affect Both Lungs and Kidneys Wegener’s Granulomatosis Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Goodpasture’s Syndrome Respiratory Effects of Chronic Renal Failure Pulmonary Edema Fibrinous Pleuritis Pericardial Effusion Tuberculosis and Other Infections Pulmonary Calcification Urinothorax Sleep Apnea Anemia Respiratory Effects of Acute Renal Failure Hemodialysis-Related Hypoxemia How Critical Illness and Mechanical Ventilation Can Damage the Kidneys Summary Lung and kidney function are intimately related in both health and disease. Respiratory changes help to mitigate the systemic effects of renal acid-base disturbances, and the reverse is also true, although renal compensation occurs more slowly than its respiratory counterpart. A large number of diseases affect both the lungs and the kidneys, presenting most often with alveolar hemorrhage and glomerulonephritis. Most of these conditions are uncommon or rare, although three of them— Wegener’s granulomatosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and Goodpasture’s syndrome—are not infrequently encountered by respiratory care clinicians. Respiratory complications of chronic renal failure include pulmonary edema, fibrinous pleuritis, pulmonary calcification, and a predisposition to tuberculosis. Urinothorax is a rare entity associated with obstructive uropathy. Sleep distur- bances are extremely common in patients with end-stage renal disease, with sleep apnea occurring in 60% or more of such patients. The management of patients with acute renal failure is frequently complicated by pulmonary edema and the effects of both fluid overload and metabolic acidosis. These processes affect the management of mechanical ventilation in such patients and may interfere with weaning.

  • ACS/ASE Medical Student Core Curriculum Acid-Base Balance
    ACS/ASE Medical Student Core Curriculum Acid-Base Balance ACID-BASE BALANCE Epidemiology/Pathophysiology Understanding the physiology of acid-base homeostasis is important to the surgeon. The two acid-base buffer systems in the human body are the metabolic system (kidneys) and the respiratory system (lungs). The simultaneous equilibrium reactions that take place to maintain normal acid-base balance are: H" HCO* ↔ H CO ↔ H O l CO g To classify the type of disturbance, a blood gas (preferably arterial) and basic metabolic panel must be obtained. A basic understanding of normal acid-base buffer physiology is required to understand alterations in these labs. The normal pH of human blood is 7.40 (7.35-7.45). This number is tightly regulated by the two buffer systems mentioned above. The lungs contain carbonic anhydrase which is capable of converting carbonic acid to water and CO2. The respiratory response results in an alteration to ventilation which allows acid to be retained or expelled as CO2. Therefore, bradypnea will result in respiratory acidosis while tachypnea will result in respiratory alkalosis. The respiratory buffer system is fast acting, resulting in respiratory compensation within 30 minutes and taking approximately 12 to 24 hours to reach equilibrium. The renal metabolic response results in alterations in bicarbonate excretion. This system is more time consuming and can typically takes at least three to five days to reach equilibrium. Five primary classifications of acid-base imbalance: • Metabolic acidosis • Metabolic alkalosis • Respiratory acidosis • Respiratory alkalosis • Mixed acid-base disturbance It is important to remember that more than one of the above processes can be present in a patient at any given time.
