DISTRIBUTION OF TOTAL BODY WATER
TRANSCELLULAR FLUID
 Fluid produced by the secretory activity of the lining epithelium of
potential spaces of the body and is separated from plasma by a
bilayer membrane consisting of a capillary endothelium & lining
epithelium
 TCF includes
– CSF
– Synovial fluid (150 ml)
– Fluid of potential spaces
• Pleural
• Peritoneal
• Pericardial
– Fluid of eye

DAILY WATER REQUIREMENT
• Daily water requirement in ml/kg body weight for
– Adult: 40-50, Children: 100, Infant: 140
• Requirement is more in infant due to
– More basal heat production (↑ physical activity  ↑ heat
evaporation  ↑ water loss)
– The ratio of body surface area & body weight is more  ↑ water
loss through skin
– Renal concentrating power is less than adult
• Low ADH activity
• Short length of loop of Henle
Resulting high urine output in infant
WATER TURNOVER
• It is the percentage of ECF volume that is lost and gain everyday
in a normal condition.
• Water turnover =
• In adult: (2500/ 14000 X 100) 16-18%
• In children: 45-50% (1/2 of ECF, so easily dehydrated in diarrhea)
• Important during fluid & electrolyte loosing condition.

REGULATION OF WATER BALANCE
 Both intake and loss of water are controlled by the
osmotic gradient across the cell membrane in
hypothalamic center
Water balance is regulated by-
1. Thirst centre
2. ADH (Antidiuretic hormone)
3. Other hormone
–Aldosterone: ↑ Na reabsorption
–ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide): ↑Na excretion
Thirst center & ADH
Hyperosmolarity
of ECF (1-2%
increase is
sufficient)
Hypovolemia
(10% reduction
of blood
volume)
• Neither water nor solute lost from body separately
• ADH mechanism is more sensitive than thirst
mechanism
• ECF osmolarity is absolute predictor of routine control
of water balance
• Hyperosmolarity of ECF is more sensitive than
hypovolemia
• If ECF volume is decreased >10% then osmolarity is
totally ignored

Basic Mechanism
WATER INTOXICATION
• Water intoxication is a potentially fatal disturbance
in brain functions that results when the normal
balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside
safe limits by excessive water intake
• Mostly occurs when water is being consumed in a
high quantity without adequate electrolyte intake
CAUSES OF WATER INTOXICATION
• Excessive intake of salt free fluid
• Renal failure
• SIADH
• Psychogenic polydipsia
• Iatrogenic – Excessive infusion of parental fluid
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF WATER INTOXICATION

Editor's Notes

  • #15 Hypertonic have greater concentration of solutes than plasma will move water out of cells. Solutions have lower water potential Hypotonic as lesser concentration of solutes that plasma don will move water into cells . (higher water potential). Isotonic has the same osmolality as blood plamsa . This type prevents shifting of fluid and electrolytes from intracellular fluid. solutions have equal (iso-) concentrations of substances. Water potentials are thus equal, although there will still be equal amounts of water movement in and out of the cell, the net flow is zero.
