Maintaining adequate fluid balance is essential for all biological functions in the body. The purpose of this study was to evaluate vulnerability to dehydration by analyzing age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and blood lipid parameters in health checkup examinees who visited Sahmyook Seoul Hospital for comprehensive health checkups. In a binary logistic regression analysis stratified by age and body mass index the odd ratio for dehydration was as high as 3.317 (95% CI: 1.666~6.605) in the 50s age group, 4.224 (95% CI: 2.038~8.755) in the 60s age group, and 4.610 (95% CI: 1.943~10.940) in the above 70s age group compared to 20s reference age group. Aged females showed greater vulnerability to dehydration with significance levels of P<0.01 and P<0.001. Compared to a normal weight (BMI: 18.5~22.9) the odd ratio was higher in males with an under weight (BMI: less than 18.5) (5.130 [95% CI: 1.631~16.132]) and in females with an over weight (BMI: 23.0~24.9) (1.500 [95% CI: 1.065~2.114]). In conclusion, our results showed that vulnerability to dehydration increased with age and was higher in under weight males and over weight females than that in normal weight.

2.A Minireview on Vasopressin-regulated Aquaporin-2 in Kidney Collecting Duct Cells.
Electrolytes & Blood Pressure 2015;13(1):1-6
The kidney collecting duct is an important renal tubular segment for the regulation of body water and salt homeostasis. Water reabsorption in the collecting duct cells is regulated by arginine vasopressin (AVP) via the vasopressin V2-receptor (V2R). AVP increases the osmotic water permeability of the collecting duct cells through aquaporin-2 (AQP2) and aquaporin-3 (AQP3). AVP induces the apical targeting of AQP2 and transcription of AQP2 gene in the kidney collecting duct principal cells. The signaling transduction pathways resulting in the AQP2 trafficking to the apical plasma membrane of the collecting duct principal cells, include AQP2 phosphorylation, RhoA phosphorylation, actin depolymerization and calcium mobilization, and the changes of AQP2 protein abundance in water balance disorders have been extensively studied. These studies elucidate the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of body water homeostasis and provide the basis for the treatment of body water balance disorders.

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of two different fluid intake measurement methods (fluid only vs. all dietary intake) in measuring fluid balance compared to body weight change among patients with cancers. METHODS: A total of 60 cancer patients in an urban cancer center in South Korea participated in the study. Adult patients who were over 18 years old; having 24-hr I&O order; and taking either normal regular diet or soft blend diet were included. Demographic information and disease related information were also gathered. The data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 program. RESULTS: Measuring 'fluid only' for oral intake was a more accurate measure than measuring 'all dietary intake' (p=.026 vs. p=.094). Both methods had positive correlations with the amount of weight change (r=.329, p=.010; r=.303, p=.019). Measuring body weight was a more accurate and efficient way of evaluating the fluid balance than 24 hr cumulative I&O. CONCLUSION: Developing clinical manual for selecting proper patients who needs fluid balance monitoring is imperative. Administering weight check and/or 24 hr cumulative I&O should be considered thoroughly based on solid nursing evidence in future.

The precise measurement of fluid balance in hemodialysis patients is an important component for assessment of dialysis adequacy and predicting intradialytic morbidity. In most centers, fluid removal by ultrafiltration is targeted to a patient's dry weight, but dry weight estimated by trial-and-error method is often imprecise. ANP(atrial natriuretic peptide) and cGMP(cyclic guanosine 3', 5'-monophophate) are biochemical markers for volume overload. We hypothesized that plasma values of ANP and cGMP before and after hemodialysis might be useful for evaluating ideal dry body weight and volume status in maintenance hemodialysis patients. To test this hypothesis, we examined 36 stable hemodialysis patients without fluid overload for a minimum of three months at our hospital. In all patients, plasma ANP and cGMP were measured by radioimmunoassay(RIA) method immediately before and after hemodialysis. Thirteen normal healthy controls were studied to define the normal range of plasma ANP and cGMP value. We correlated plasma values of ANP and cGMP in paitents with corresponding difference of P(difference between actual weight and estimated ideal dry weight) and mean arterial blood pressure(MAP). The results are as follows : 1) Compared with healthy controls, the hemodialysis patients had significantly elevated plasma values of ANP and cGMP. The plasma ANP and cGMP values after dialysis were significantly decreased compared to those before dialysis(p<0.01). 2) There was positive correlation between the levels of ANP and cGMP(p<0.01). 3) Predialytic difference of P was significantly positive correlated to predialytic cGMP(r= 0.73, p<0.01). It was also appeared to be increased tendency by increasing value of predialytic ANP, but the difference was statistically not significant. 4) Predialytic MAP had significant positive correlation to predialytic ANP(r=0.47, p<0.01). It was also increased by predialytic cGMP, but the difference was statistically not significant. In conclusion, plasma values of ANP and cGMP might be helpful clinical markers for evaluating volume status and assessing dry weight in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of beverage temperature and composition on weight retention and fluid balance upon voluntary drinking following exercise induced-dehydration. Eight men who were not acclimated to heat participated in four randomly ordered testing sessions. In each session, the subjects ran on a treadmill in a chamber maintained at 37degrees C without being supplied fluids until 2% body weight reduction was reached. After termination of exercise, they recovered for 90 min under ambient air conditions and received one of the following four test beverages: 10degrees C water (10W), 10degrees C sports drink (10S), 26degrees C water (26W), and 26degrees C sports drink (26S). They consumed the beverages ad libitum. The volume of beverage consumed and body weight were measured at 30, 60, and 90 min post-recovery. Blood samples were taken before and immediately after exercise as well as at the end of recovery in order to measure plasma parameters and electrolyte concentrations. We found that mean body weight decreased by 1.8-2.0% following exercise. No differences in mean arterial pressure, plasma volume, plasma osmolality, and blood electrolytes were observed among the conditions. Total beverage volumes consumed were 1,164 +/- 388, 1,505 +/- 614, 948 +/- 297, and 1,239 +/- 401 ml for 10W, 10S, 26W, and 26S respectively (P > 0.05). Weight retention at the end of recovery from dehydration was highest in 10S (1.3 +/- 0.7 kg) compared to 10W (0.4 +/- 0.5 kg), 26W (0.4 +/- 0.4 kg), and (0.6 +/- 0.4 kg) (P < 0.005). Based on these results, carbohydrate/electrolyte-containing beverages at cool temperature were the most favorable for consumption and weight retention compared to plain water and moderate temperature beverages.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify differences between intake and output balance and body weight changes and to identify factors related to differences in critically ill patients. METHODS: The participants for this descriptive correlational study were 65 medical surgical ICU patients. The data were collected from patient medical records. RESULTS: Mean age of the patients was 63.80 years (+/-15.21). Body weight changes for 48 hours averaged 281.54g (+/-2210.48). I&O balance for 48 hours corrected for insensible loss averaged 398.1mL. Differences ranged from 45mL to 7,535mL. In the distribution of absolute difference between body weight change and intake and output balance, only 40% of the patients were within less than 1,000mL. Factors relating to accurate measure of intake and output were ventilation methods, respiration patterns, and edema status. CONCLUSION: Although mean values of weight change and I&O balance for all patients were very close, the range of differences was very wide indicating that, for many patients, intake and output is not an appropriate indicator of body fluid balance. Therefore, because of the frequency fever and/or hyperventilation, nurses need to use caution when using intake and output balance only to estimate current body fluid status for critically ill patients.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the differences in water balance between preterm small for gestational age (SGA) and appropriate for gestational age(AGA) infants, we compared the difference in initial physiologic weight loss during the first five days of life and studied associated factors influencing the initial physiologic weight loss in preterm SGA and AGA infants. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed water and electrolyte balance in 51 preterm low birth weight infants of whom 20 were preterm SGA infants(gestational age, 30.4+/-1.6weeks:birth weight, 970+/-180g) and 31 preterm AGA infants(30+/-1.7 weeks:1437+/-276g) matched by gestation. RESULTS: The percent weight loss was significantly lower in SGA than in AGA infants(p=0.01). The percent weight loss on the fifth day of life were 12.1+/-5.3% in SGA and 15.8+/-4.3% in AGA infants, respectively(p=<0.01). SGA infants had significantly lower urine output on the second and third day of life compared to AGA infants. Diuresis started on the second day of life in AGA infants and on the fifth day of life in SGA infants. CONCLUSION: The initial physiologic weight loss in SGA infants occurred in a smaller degree compared with AGA infants. This was associated with lower urine volume and the delay in onset of diuresis in SGA infants. These differences in water balance in SGA and AGA infants should be considered in the management of preterm low birth weight infants on mechanical ventilation.

Abnormalities of body fluid and electrolyte balance, acute renal failure, nephrotic syndrome, interstitial nephritis and papillary necrosis are well known disease of wide spectrum of NSAID induced renal side effect. Many different mechanism such as inhibition of prostaglandin pathway, delayed hypersensitivity reaction and direct toxicity are reported to relate to development of disease. Recently, overuse of NSAID has steadily increased the cases of NSAID induced side effects and in some cases permanent damage to kidney has been reported. Authors experienced a 67-year-old male patient who presented with gross hematuria, edema and azotemia and diagnosed as interstitial nephritis accompanying nephrotic syndrome. Kidney biopsy shows the edema and the diffuse infiltration of lymphocytes in the interstitium. The glomerular changes suggest minimal change lesion or focal segmental glomerular sclerosis in early stage. The patient had continuously consumed piroxicam for 6 months and had improved after discontinuation of this drug as well as treatment with steroid but remained renal damage. This case suggest that piroxicam may be an agent that causes interstitial nephritis and nephrotic syndrome. Therefore clinician should use it with caution especially in patients with high risk factors.

For patients with short bowel syndrome who undergo ileostomy, nutritional management is essential to prevent complications associated with a high-output stoma (HOS). We report a practical example of ostomic, medical nutrition therapy provided by an intensive nutritional support team (NST). A 42-year-old male with a history of Crohn's disease visited Seoul National University Hospital for treatment of mechanical ileus. He underwent loop ileostomy after extensive small bowel resection. As his remaining small bowel was only 160 cm in length, the stomal output was about 3,000 mL/day and his body weight fell from 52.4 to 40.3 kg. Given his clinical condition, continuous tube feeding for 24 h was used to promote adaptation of the remnant bowel. Thereafter, an oral diet was initiated and multiple, nutritional educational sessions were offered by dietitians. Constant infusion therapy was prescribed and included in the discharge plan. Two months after discharge, his body weight had increased to 46.6 kg and his hydration status was appropriately maintained. This case suggests that the critical features of medical nutritional therapy for ostomy management are frequent assessments of fluid balance, weight history, and laboratory data and after nutritional interventions.

Electrolytes & Blood Pressure 2007;5(1):15-22
Vasopressin, angiotensin II (AngII), and aldosterone are essential hormones in the regulation of body fluid homeostatsis. We examined the effects of AngII or aldosterone on the regulation of body water balance. We demonstrated that 1) short-term treatment with AngII in the primary cultured inner medullary collecting duct cells played a role in the regulation of AQP2 targeting to the plasma membrane through AT1 receptor activation. This potentiated the effects of dDAVP on cAMP accumulation, AQP2 phosphorylation, and AQP2 plasma membrane targeting; 2) pharmacological blockade of the AngII AT1 receptor in rats co-treated with dDAVP and dietary NaCl-restriction (to induce high plasma endogenous AngII) resulted in an increase in urine production, a decrease in urine osmolality, and blunted the dDAVP-induced upregulation of AQP2; 3) long-term aldosterone infusion in normal rats or in rats with diabetes insipidus was associated with polyuria and decreased urine concentration, accompanied by decreased apical but increased basolateral AQP2 labeling intensity in the connecting tubule and cortical collecting duct; and 4) in contrast to the effects of dDAVP and AngII, short-term aldosterone treatment does not alter the intracellular distribution of AQP2. In conclusion, angiotensin II, and aldosterone could play a role in the regulation of renal water reabsorption by changing intracellular AQP2 targeting and/or AQP2 abundance, in addition to the vasopressin.
