Fluid balance
is the concept of human homeostasis
that the amount of fluid lost from the
body is equal to the amount of fluid
taken in. Euvolemia
is the state of normal body fluid
volume. Humans can survive for 46
weeks without food, but for only a few
days without water.
Input water
In the normal resting state,
input of water through ingested
fluids is approximately 1200
ml/day, from ingested foods
1000 ml/day and from
aerobic respiration 300 ml/day,
totaling 2500 ml/day.
Regulation of input
Input of water is regulated mainly through
ingested fluids, which, in turn, depends on
thirst. An insufficiency of water results in
an increased osmolarity (> 308 mosmol) in
the extracellular fluid.
This is sensed by osmoreceptors in the
organum vasculosum of the lamina
terminalis, which trigger thirst.
Thirst can to some degree be voluntarily
resisted, as during fluid restriction.
Output
The majority of fluid output occurs via the urine,
approximately 1500 ml/day (approx 1.59 qt/day) in the normal
adult resting state.
Some fluid is lost through perspiration (part of the body's
temperature control mechanism) and as water vapor in
expired air. These are termed "insensible fluid losses" as
they cannot be easily measured. Some sources say insensible
losses account for 500 to 650 ml/day (0.5 to 0.6 qt.) of water
in adults,while other sources put the minimum value at 800
ml (0.8 qt.).
In children, one calculation used for insensible fluid loss is
400ml/m2 body surface area.
An adult loses approximately 100ml/day of fluid through feces
.
For females, an additional 50 ml/day is lost through vaginal
secretions.
These outputs are in balance with the input of ~2500 ml/day
Regulation of output
The body's homeostatic control mechanisms, which
maintain a constant internal environment, ensure that a
balance between fluid gain and fluid loss is maintained.
The hormones ADH (Anti-diuretic Hormone, also known
as vasopressin) and Aldosterone play a major role in
this.
If the body is becoming fluid-deficient, there will be an
increase in the secretion of these hormones, causing
fluid to be retained by the kidneys and urine output to
be reduced.
Conversely, if fluid levels are excessive, secretion of
these hormones is suppressed, resulting in less
retention of fluid by the kidneys and a subsequent
increase in the volume of urine produced.
Antidiuretic hormone
If the body is becoming fluid-deficient, this will be
sensed by osmoreceptors in the organum
vasculosum of lamina terminalis and subfornical
organ.
These areas project to the supraoptic nucleus and
paraventricular nucleus, which contain neurons that
secrete the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin, from
their nerve endings in the posterior pituitary.
Thus, there will be an increase in the secretion of
antidiuretic hormone, causing fluid to be retained
by the kidneys and urine output to be reduced.
Aldosterone
Renin-angiotensin system
A fluid-insufficiency causes a decreased perfusion of
the juxtaglomerular apparatus in the kidneys.
This activates the renin-angiotensin system.
Among other actions, it causes renal tubules (i.e. the
distal convoluted tubules and the cortical collecting
ducts) to reabsorb more sodium and water from the
urine.
Potassium is secreted into the tubule in exchange for
the sodium, which is reabsorbed.
The activated renin-angiotensin system stimulates
zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex which in turn
secretes hormone aldosterone.
This hormone stimulates the reabsorption of sodium
ions from distal tubules and collecting ducts.
Water in the tubular lumen follows the sodium
reabsorption osmotically.
