| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| BCOP | Blood Colloid osmotic pressure:Force of osmosis that draws water into the plasma (from the presence of colloid particles in plasma) |
| BHP | Blood Hydrostatic pressure:Force of the blood pushing outward on blood vessel walls; blood pressure |
| ECF | Extracellular fluids: Any fluid outside cells, such as interstitial fluid (IF) or blood plasma |
| ICF | Intracellular Fluid:Fluid inside the cell (cytosol) |
| IF | Interstitial Fluid:Fluid between tissue cells |
| IFCOP | Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure:Force that draws water out of the blood and into tissue spaces (from the presence of colloid particles in IF) |
| IFHP | Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure:Force (pressure) of the fluid between tissue cell |
| Hypernatremia/Hyponatremia | Possible outcomes: Headache, confusion, seizures In severe cases: coma and death |
| Hyperkalemia/Hypokalemia | Possible outcome:Weakening and paralysis of skeletal muscle Cardiac dysrhythmia or arrest Gastrointestinal motility problems |
| Hypercalcemia | Possible outcome: Fatigue, muscle weakness, diminished reflexes; impaired cardiac conduction |
| Hypocalcemia | Possible outcomes: Muscle cramping and twitching of muscles, hyperactive reflexes; cardiac dysrhythmia |
