LEARNING OBJECTIVES
AT THE END OF THIS SEMINAR, STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE
TO:
• KNOW THE DIETARY SOURCE
• KNOW THE REQUIREMENT DAILY ALLOWANCE
(RDA)
• KNOW THE IMPORTANCE
• KNOW THE FUNCTION
• KNOW THE DISORDER
OF SODIUM, POTASSIUM AND CHLORIDE
SODIUM
• Cation in extracellular fluid
• 50% in bone, 40% in extracellular fluid
and 10% in soft tissues
• Normal serum reference range : 135- 145
meq/L
• RDA : 4-6 g
• Source : table salt, fish, meat, egg
SODIUM
• Absorption through small intestine and
large intestine
• From intestinal lumen -> intestinal
mucosal cells, sodium enters passively
• Intercellular sodium moves into ECF by
sodium pump
• Secreted through urine
SODIUM
Function :
• Neuromuscular activity
• Fluid balance
• Acid – base balance
• Membrane transport
SODIUM – DISORDER AND CAUSES
HYPONATREMIA
<135 mEq/L
Excess sodium loss
Dehydration
Excess H20 retention
(dilutional)
Addison’s disease
HYPERNATREMIA
>145mEq/L
Excessive loss of water
Dehydration
Hyperaldosteronism
Pregnancy
SODIUM – DISORDER AND MANIFESTATION
POTASSIUM
• Cation in intracellular fluid
• Normal serum reference range : 3.5 – 5.6
mEq/L
• Body content : 40 mEq/kg
• Daily requirement : 4g/day
• Source : meat, fish, cereals, tender
coconut, banana
POTASSIUM
• Absorbed in small intestine and large intestine
through passive transport
• Excretion through kidney
• Functions:
• Neuromuscular excitability
• Contraction of heart
• Intracellular osmotic pressure
• Acid base balance
• Secondary active transport
HYPOKALEMIA
<3.5 mEq/L
Excess potassium loss –
diarrhea, vomitting, aspiration
Increase renal excretion –
cushing’s syndrome
Malabsorption
Alkalosis
HYPERKALEMIA
>5.6mEq/L
Crush injuries
Dehydration
Renal failure
Acidosis
POTASSIUM – DISORDER AND CAUSES
POTASSIUM – DISORDER AND MANIFESTATION
CHLORIDE
• Important in formation of hydrochloric
acid (HCL) in gastric juice
• Chloride shift
• Concentration in plasma : 96- 106 mEq/L
• Concentration in CSF : 125 mEq/L
CHLORIDE
• Excretion of through urine, parallel to sodium
• Renal threshold : 110 mEq/L
• Daily excretion : 5- 8 g/day
• No specific RDA because chloride’s primary
source is from sodium
• Regulation :
• Intestinal absorption
• Renal reabsorption
• Renal excretion
CHLORIDE
HYPOCHLOREMIA
<96 mEq/L
Excessive vomitting
Excessive sweating
HYPERCHLOREMIA
>106 mEq/L
Dehydration
Cushing’s syndrome – mineralcorticoids
increase reabsorption from kidney
Severe diarrhea – loss of bicarbonate,
retention of chloride
Renal tubular acidosis
