Movement of fluid & electrolytes
A. Passive transport (no energy required):
◦
Osmosis: Fluid move from higher concentration to lower
concentration
◦
Diffusion = Molecules move from higher concentration
to lower (Concentration gradient)
◦
Filtration = Fluid and diffusible substances move
together across a membrane; moving from ↑ pressure to ↓
pressure
◦
Hydrostatic pressure : Fluids moves from an area of
higher pressure to area of lower pressure
B. Active transport( energy required):
◦
Sodium-Potassium Pump
12
Concentration of Body fluid
◦
Units of solute concentration are osmolarity and
osmolality

Osmolarity: Number of osmoles of solute per liter
(L) of solution. It is expressed as osmol/L
e.g 1 mol/L NaCl solution has an osmolarity of 2
osmol/L

Osmolality : Number of osmoles of solute per
kilogram(kg) of solvent. It is expressed as osmol/kg

Normal serum osmolality=280-298 mosmol/kg
13
Clinical relevance of osmolality
Calculation
◦
Serum osmolality (mosmol/kg) =
◦
Effective osmolality: Osmotic force that is mediating the
shift of water between the ECF and the ICF =
◦
The osmotic gap (osmolal gap): is the difference between the
actual osmolality (measured by the laboratory) and the calculated
osmolality
◦
A normal osmolal gap is < 10 mOsm/kg

•↓ plasma volume
10%–15%
•Baroreceptor input,
angiotensin II, and
other stimuli
