Water And Electrolytes Balance and Imbalance
Distribution of Water:
Disturbances of Water Homeostasis
Four specific examples of water homeostasis:
Mechanisms of Fluid Balance
Thirst Mechanism
Renin to Aldosterone
Minerals and trace elements metabolism
Key Electrolytes and Their Distribution
Sodium (Na ++ )
Absorption and availability of sodiumSodium depletion
Potassium (K⁺)
Transport and absorption of potassium:
Hyperkalemia
Hypokalemia
Chloride (Cl⁻)
Hyperchloremia
Hypochloremia:
Magnesium (Mg²⁺)
Hypermagnesaemia:
Hypomagnesemia:
Bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻)
Phosphate (PO₄³⁻)
Calcium (Ca ++ )
Calcium is essential for the following:
Calcium absorption and balance
Hypercalcemia
Hypocalcaemia
