Body Fluids and Salt Metabolism

As a consequence the focus of the present review is to recognize the different body fluid compartments, to clinically assess the degree of dehydration, to know how the equilibrium between extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid is maintained, to calculate the effective blood osmolality and discuss both parenteral fluid maintenance and replacement.

Disorders of Sodium and Water Balance
Disorders of Sodium and Water Balance Theresa R. Harring, MD*, Nathan S. Deal, MD, Dick C. Kuo, MD* KEYWORDS Dysnatremia Water balance Hyponatremia Hypernatremia Fluids for resuscitation KEY POINTS Correct hypovolemia before correcting sodium imbalance by giving patients boluses of isotonic intravenous fluids; reassess serum sodium after volume status normalized. Serum and urine electrolytes and osmolalities in patients with dysnatremias in conjunction with clinical volume assessment are especially helpful to guide management. If an unstable patient is hyponatremic, give 2 mL/kg of 3% normal saline (NS) up to 100 mL over 10 minutes; this may be repeated once if the patient continues to be unstable. If unstable hypernatremic patient, give NS with goal to decrease serum sodium by 8 to 15 mEq/L over 8 hours. Correct stable dysnatremias no faster than 8 mEq/L to 12 mEq/L over the first 24 hours. INTRODUCTION Irregularities of sodium and water balance most often occur simultaneously and are some of the most common electrolyte abnormalities encountered by emergency med- icine physicians. Approximately 10% of all patients admitted from the emergency department suffer from hyponatremia and 2% suffer from hypernatremia.1 Because of the close nature of sodium and water balance, and the relatively rigid limits placed on the central nervous system by the skull, it is not surprising that most symptoms related to disorders of sodium and water imbalance are neurologic and can, therefore, be devastating. Several important concepts are crucial to the understanding of these disorders, the least of which include body fluid compartments, regulation of osmo- lality, and the need for rapid identification and appropriate management. -
Sodium Toxicity in the Nutritional Epidemiology and Nutritional Immunology of COVID-19
medicina Perspective Sodium Toxicity in the Nutritional Epidemiology and Nutritional Immunology of COVID-19 Ronald B. Brown School of Public Health Sciences, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON N2L 3G1, Canada; [email protected] Abstract: Dietary factors in the etiology of COVID-19 are understudied. High dietary sodium intake leading to sodium toxicity is associated with comorbid conditions of COVID-19 such as hypertension, kidney disease, stroke, pneumonia, obesity, diabetes, hepatic disease, cardiac arrhythmias, throm- bosis, migraine, tinnitus, Bell’s palsy, multiple sclerosis, systemic sclerosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome. This article synthesizes evidence from epidemiology, pathophysiology, immunology, and virology literature linking sodium toxicological mechanisms to COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Sodium toxicity is a modifiable disease determinant that impairs the mucociliary clearance of virion aggregates in nasal sinuses of the mucosal immune system, which may lead to SARS-CoV-2 infection and viral sepsis. In addition, sodium toxicity causes pulmonary edema associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome, as well as inflammatory immune responses and other symptoms of COVID- 19 such as fever and nasal sinus congestion. Consequently, sodium toxicity potentially mediates the association of COVID-19 pathophysiology with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Sodium dietary intake also increases in the winter, when sodium losses through sweating are reduced, correlating with influenza-like illness outbreaks. Increased SARS-CoV-2 infections in lower socioeconomic classes and Citation: Brown, R.B. Sodium among people in government institutions are linked to the consumption of foods highly processed Toxicity in the Nutritional with sodium. Interventions to reduce COVID-19 morbidity and mortality through reduced-sodium Epidemiology and Nutritional diets should be explored further. -
Hypernatremia in Critically Ill Patients
Journal of Critical Care (2013) 28, 216.e11–216.e20 Hypernatremia in critically ill patients☆,☆☆,★ Gregor Lindner MD a,⁎, Georg-Christian Funk MD b aDepartment of Emergency Medicine, Inselspital, University of Bern, 3010 Bern, Switzerland bDepartment of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Otto Wagner Hospital, Wien, Austria Keywords: Abstract Hypernatremia is common in intensive care units. It has detrimental effects on various Hypernatremia; physiologic functions and was shown to be an independent risk factor for increased mortality in Intensive care; critically ill patients. Mechanisms of hypernatremia include sodium gain and/or loss of free water and Treatment; can be discriminated by clinical assessment and urine electrolyte analysis. Because many critically ill Sodium patients have impaired levels of consciousness, their water balance can no longer be regulated by thirst and water uptake but is managed by the physician. Therefore, the intensivists should be very careful to provide the adequate sodium and water balance for them. Hypernatremia is treated by the administration of free water and/or diuretics, which promote renal excretion of sodium. The rate of correction is critical and must be adjusted to the rapidity of the development of hypernatremia. © 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction Hypernatremia is defined as a serum sodium concentration exceeding 145 mmol/L [1]. The Edelman equation shows the serum sodium concentration (Na+) as a function of the total exchangeable sodium and potassium in the body and the total body water [2]. Equation 1 (while Na+ total body stands for total exchangeable sodium and K+ total body stands for total exchangeable potassium). ☆ Conflict of interest: No conflicts to declare. -

VETERINARY CLINICS SMALL ANIMAL PRACTICE Chloride: a Quick Reference

Chloride is the major anion filtered by the glomeruli and reabsorbed in the renal tubules. Changes in chloride concentration are associated with metabolic acid-base disorders. Chloride is an important player in renal regulation of acid-base metabolism. ANALYSIS Indications: Serum chloride concentration commonly is measured in systemic diseases characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, polyuria, and polydipsia or in patients likely to have metabolic acid-base abnormalities. Typical reference range: Chloride concentration must be corrected to account for changes in plasma free water. Primary chloride disorders have abnormal corrected chloride, whereas changes in free water do not (Fig. 1).
