endocrine processes, and balanced output via the kidneys, lungs, skin,
and the gastrointestinal system.
In clinical practice, fluid and electrolyte therapy are undertaken either
to provide maintenance requirements or to replace serious losses or
deficits. Body losses of water and/or electrolytes can result from a
number of causes, including vomiting, diarrhea, profuse sweating, fever,
chronic renal failure, diuretic therapy, surgery, and others. The type of
therapy undertaken (i.e., oral or parenteral) and the content of the fluid
administered depend on a patient’s specific requirements.
For example, a patient taking diuretics may simply require a daily
oral potassium supplement along with adequate intake of water. An
athlete may require rehydration with or without added electrolytes.
Hospitalized patients commonly receive parenteral maintenance therapy
of fluids and electrolytes to support ordinary metabolic function. In
severe cases of deficit, a patient may require the prompt and substantial
intravenous replacement of fluids and electrolytes to restore acute volume
losses resulting from surgery, trauma, burns, or shock.
The composition of body fluids generally is described with regard to
body compartments: intracellular (within cells), intravascular (blood
plasma), or interstitial (between cells in the tissue). Intravascular and
interstitial fluids commonly are grouped together and termed
extracellular fluid. The usual reference ranges of electrolytes in blood
plasma are shown in Table 12.2. Although all electrolytes and
nonelectrolytes in body fluids contribute to osmotic activity, sodium and
chloride exert the principal effect in extracellular fluid, and potassium
and phosphate predominate in intracellular fluid.
Because cell membranes generally are freely permeable to water, the
osmolality of the extracellular fluid (about 290 mOsmol/kg water) is
about equal to that of the intracellular fluid. Therefore, the plasma
osmolality is a convenient and accurate guide to intracellular osmolality
and may be approximated by the formula5:
where sodium (Na) concentration is in mEq/L, and blood urea nitrogen
(BUN) and glucose concentrations are in mg/100 mL (mg/dL).
Example Calculation of Plasma Osmolality
Estimate the plasma osmolality from the following data: sodium, 135
mEq/L; blood urea nitrogen, 14 mg/dL; and glucose, 90 mg/dL.

CALCULATIONS CAPSULE
Milliequivalents, Millimoles, and Milliosmoles
To calculate milliequivalents (mEq), use the following conversion:
where “valence” is the total valence of the cation or anion in the
compound.
To calculate millimoles (mmol), use the following conversion:
To calculate milliosmoles (mOsmol), use the following conversion:
where “number of species produced by dissociation” is one for
substances that do not dissociate, two for substances that dissociate
into two ions, three for substances that dissociate into three ions, and
so on.
Osmolarity (mOsmol/L) is the total number of milliosmoles of
solute(s) per liter of solution.
