Fluid Balance
• Fluids are maintained in the body through a complex process involving the BRAIN and the KIDNEYS
• Water and sodium are the key components involved with fluid balance
• Bottom Line: – Where sodium goes, water will follow

Sodium >145 or <135
• >145 = “hypernatremia”—TOO MUCH sodium– Symptoms include thirst, dry mouth, restlessness– Can be caused by too much sodium intake, too
little water intake (or too much water loss)
• <135 = “hyponatremia”—TOO LITTLE sodium– Symptoms include lethargy, headache, confusion– Can be caused by loss of fluids through vomiting
and diarrhea, inadequate sodium intake or sodium loss

Dehydration or “Fluid Volume Deficit”
• Caused by sodium or water loss—or both
• Contributing Factors– Inadequate fluid intake—loss of salt and water– Vomiting and diarrhea—loss of fluid and electrolytes– Low or no sodium intake—loss of electrolytes– Diabetes Insipidus—excessive loss of fluid
• Watch for– Thirst and dry mucous membranes– Weight loss– Concentrated urine (except in diabetes insipidus)– Weak pulse and tachycardia– Confusion

Management and Treatment
• Consider fluids in and fluids out• Labs: electrolytes, CBC, urine specific
gravity• Cardiovascular: assess hypotension,
pulses• Weight: assess for changes
