Measurement of body fluid compartments pdf. The differences in composition between the major body fluid compartments. Body fluid compartments have different sizes and volumes and different compositions. Theoretically its possible to measure the size of each of the body fluid compartments by injecting substances that will stay in one compartment only the substance that attach to object that only exist in interested fluid like plasma protein only exist in plasma and cannot escape and then calculate the volume of fluid in which the test substance is distributed volume of distribution of. The intracellular fluid icf compartment is the system that includes all fluid enclosed in cells by their plasma membranes.

What is dissolved in the fluid is different. Measurement of body fluid volumes total body water is measured using dilution principle. Sinan canan created date. Water loss in feces 100 mlday 4.

How to measure the volumes of body fluid compartments using marker substances. If you measure too soon all you will get is the volume of the functional extracellular fluid. Marker that diffuses freely not only in the water outside the cells but also crosses the cell membrane to reach the intracellular fluid. Of physiology body fluids 2.

Body fluids can be discussed in terms of their specific fluid compartment a location that is largely separate from another compartment by some form of a physical barrier. Significance of body fluids. Synthesis in the body as a result of oxidation of carbohydrates adding about 200 mlday daily loss of body water 1. Composition of body fluids 3.

Thus bromine measurements of the ecf volume frequently over estimate the ecf volume.

If the tracer is metabolised a series of measurements can be made and assuming exponential decline first order kinetics the volume of distribution can be determined by extrapolation back to zero time. Unfortunately some bromine 82 also distributes into the cells. Fluid intake and output daily intake of water 1. The distribution of water between the major body fluid compartments.

It does not matter about size and compositionif you can count every particle in that compartment in all the. Water balance positive and negative water balance 6. Volumes compartments of body fluids 2. If you manipulate one body fluid compartment it has an effect on another compartment.
