2 principles of homeostasis

MOVEMENT OF FLUID AND PARTICLES between and within compartments is controlled by a number of processes, including:

dfsdg

refers to the number of osmoles per kilogram of water and is expressed as

advgd

is the number of osmoles in 1 L of solution and is expressed as

dfgdn

- refers to the number of particles dissolved in the serum, primarily sodium, urea (blood urea nitrogen [BUN]), and glucose.
- measure of the concentration of solutes per kilogram in urine

dfbg

Normal serum osmolality

Hypo-osmolality of body fluid may be the result

Hyperosmolality of body fluid could be caused

Tonicity is used primarily as a measurement of the concentration of IV solutions compared with the osmolality of body fluids.

Insensible losses (water lost via the lungs, skin, and feces) are not measurable.

Fluid maintenance needs for the NPO (nothing by mouth) patient can be calculated as follows:
