Body fluid composition in chronic renal failure

J H Bauer, C S Brooks

    Clinical Nephrology
    |September 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    In hemodialysis patients, body fluid shifts primarily affect extracellular fluid (ECF), particularly interstitial fluid (ISF). Intracellular fluid (ICF) volume remained stable, highlighting ISF

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Physiology
    • Body Fluid Balance

    Background:

    • Chronic hemodialysis patients experience significant body fluid alterations.
    • Understanding fluid shifts is crucial for managing patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate body fluid composition changes in hemodialysis patients.
    • To determine the buffering role of interstitial fluid (ISF) during fluid shifts.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessed red cell mass (RCM), plasma volume (PV), extracellular fluid volume (ECF), and total body water (TBW) in 10 patients.
    • Measurements were taken at dry weight, after saline infusion, and after ultrafiltration.

    Main Results:

    • Total body water (TBW) ranged from 48.5-51.0% of body weight.
    • Extracellular fluid (ECF) constituted 41.8-46.3% of TBW.
    • Interstitial fluid (ISF) buffered salt and water changes within the ECF; intracellular fluid (ICF) remained unaltered.

    Conclusions:

    • Salt and water alterations in hemodialysis patients are confined to the ECF.
    • Interstitial fluid (ISF) acts as the primary buffer, maintaining vascular volume and balance.
    • Intracellular fluid (ICF) volume is preserved during these fluid management interventions.
