About Body Fluids, Electrolytes And Acid-Base
Water is life and is the primary component that makes up body fluids. In addition to this, it is the most abundant substance in the body (75% or more). It plays a vital role in several physiologic bodily functions such as digestion, absorption and use of nutrients, distribution, waste excretion, and perfusion and maintenance of hemodynamics; all these aspects make up a life. The total body water percentage changes in various stages of life especially, during development from childhood into adulthood and this is dependent on various factors such as age, weight, sex, and percentage of body fat. Electrolytes on the other hand are electrically charged particles of essential minerals in blood that enhance nerve and muscle function, body-fluid balance among other physiological processes. Some of them include calcium, chlorine, magnesium, phosphate, potassium, and sodium. All these can be got from fluids, supplements, and foods. Balance in these components helps the body to function well. Bodily dysfunction is experienced in their imbalances.This book goes beyond the ordinary to elaborate clearly on this topic. It makes the topic of ‘blood gas analysis’ understood with one time reading. The book also explains in detail the management of various extremes of fluid and electrolyte imbalances.
