This document discusses the physiology of fluid and electrolytes and outlines the causes, clinical manifestations, and management of common fluid and electrolyte disturbances. It begins with an overview of basic fluid physiology, including total body water, intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments. It then classifies different types of fluid volume and concentration changes and discusses specific disturbances such as hyponatremia, hypernatremia, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, and calcium, phosphate, and magnesium deficiencies. The key goals in management are to identify the underlying cause, treat based on clinical manifestations, and monitor for complications from overly rapid correction.
