Water Balance
Principle: Water input = water output
-
Water Output
o 60% though urine excretion
o 28% through insensible water loss (respiratory expiration and skin dissipation)
o 8% through obvious perspiration
o 4% through stool excretion
Osmolarity
- Normal is 285- 300 mOsmol/L
Note: the unit could also be mOsmol/kg (Osmolality) which is considered the same with
Osmolarity in Physiology context
-
Decreased osmolarity =
o Inhibition of antidiuretic hormone and thirst mechanism
o No water ingestion but increased urine output
Increased osmolarity=
o Activation of antidiuretic hormone and thirst mechanism
o Increased water input but decreased urine output
Fluid Compartments
In a 70 Kg young male, his 60% of his total body weight which is water comes from
o Extracellular (20%- 15L)
Plasma (5%- 3.5L)
Cl- - 95-107 meq/L
Interstitial fluid (15%- 10.5)
Transcellular fluid- 1L
Na+- 135-145 meq/L
Composition of Solutes
Solutes:
1. Non- electrolytesa. Covalent bonds (prevents dissociation in water)
b. Neutral (has zero net charge)
c. Glucose, lipids, creatinine, urea, proteins
2. Electrolytes
a. Chemical compounds dissociate to 2-3 ions
b. Conduct electrical current
c. Inorganic salts
Osmoles- total number of particles
- 1 gm mole of nonpermeant and ionizable substances= 1 osmole
- If a substance ionizes into 2 ions, 1 gm mole of substance= 2 osmoles
Note:NaCl compound dissociate into 2 elements thus 1 osmole/element = 2 osmoles
Bivalent ion- 1 gm mole of this substance= 1/2 osmole
Note: Calcium ion (Ca++) has 2 ionic charges which divides 1 osmole into 2 (1 osmole/number of ionic
charge)
Osmosis
- Movement of water in a semi-permeable membrane from:
A. low concentration of solutes to higher concentration of solutes
B. high concentration of water to low concentration of water
Osmolarity (mmoles/ L of solution)
Osmolalilty (mmoles/Kg of water)
Both are used interchangeably.
Refers to number of solute particles given in a solution
Hydrostatic pressure
o Kick
o From high water concentration to low water concentration
Osmotic pressure
o Keep
o Attracts water
o Movement of water from low concentration of solutes to high concentration of solutes
o
Isoosmotic

o
Tonicity
Refers to the number of NON-PERMEANT Solutes in a solution
o
o
o
Isotonic
amount of Non permeant solutes in solution = cell
Hypotonic
Lesser Non permeant solutes to that of the cell
Hypertonic
Greater Non permeant solutes compared to that of the cell

Plasma, Interstitial Fluid and Intracellular fluid are isotonic to each other even with varying
osmolarity because this concept will only count the number of NON-PERMEANT PARTICLES

Plasma becomes diluted water from Plasma will move to the Interstitial Compartment
Decreased osmolarity in the Interstitial Compartment water from the Interstitial Compartment will
go to the Intracellular compartment

Increases osmolarity in the Plasma water from Interstitial Compartment will move to the Plasma
increased osmolarity in the Interstitial Compartment water from the Intracellular compartment will
move to the Interstitial Compartment then will move to the Plasma excreted through Urination
