|---|---|
| Effective filtration pressure (EFP) | (1) EFP is the difference between the opposing pressures of filtra-tion and osmosis (2) EFP ⫽ Filtration ⫺ Osmosis ⫽ (BHP ⫺ IFHP) ⫺ (BCOP ⫺ IFCOP) |
| Edema | classic example of fluid imbalance |
| Chloride | most important extracellular anion and almost always linked to sodium. generally excreted in urine in association with potassium |
| Hypokalemia (potassium deficit) | As cells disintegrate, potassium enters the ECF and is rapidly excreted because it is not reabsorbed efficiently by the kidney |
| Acid-base balance | regulation of hydrogen ion concentration in body fluids |
| Carbonic acid | formed by the CO2 from glucose catabolism |
| Lactic acid | thought to be formed by the lactate and excess protons (H⫹) from anaerobic glucose catabolism |
| Sulfuric acid | formed by oxidation of sulfur-containing amino acids |
| Phosphoric acid | formed in the breakdown of phosphoproteins and ribonucleotides |
| pH <7.35 | indicates acidosis |
