Relationship Between Plasma and Extracellular Fluid

چکیده
The importance of plasma and extracellular fluid volumes in the mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of chlorothiazide is disputed. The present investigation indicates that the lowering of blood pressure is accompanied by reductions in plasma and extracellular fluid volumes and in body weight. Furthermore, re-expansion of plasma volume with salt-free dextran reverses the antihypertensive effect. However, since gradual reaccumulation of extracellular fluid occurs during 1 year of continuous treatment, the late antihypertensive effects of chlorothiazide cannot be explained by the volume-depletion mechanism.

Plasma sodium in relation with the extracellular fluid volume in chronic hemodialysis patients.
AIM To obtain a causal relationship between changes in plasma sodium levels and increased extracellular fluid volume between post-hemodialysis and pre-hemodialysis on the following day or plasma sodium serves as a predictor of extracellular fluid volume. METHODS The study was conducted on 40 subjects randomly selected from the 247 chronic hemodialysis patients in Hemodialysis Unit of Nephrolo...
متن کاملFree phenytoin concentration in brain ECF
We investigate the relationship between brain extracellular fluid free phenytoin concentration and plasma free phenytoin concentration in adults with acute brain injury. Daily cerebral microdialysate free phenytoin concentration was measured in eight adults with acute brain injury and compared to simultaneous measurement of plasma free phenytoin concentration. The group data revealed no signifi...

متن کاملCorrelation between Seminal Fluid Analysis and Levels of Gonadotropins in Serum and Seminal Plasma of Normozoospermic Men and Infertile Patients
Background Levels of serum gonadotropins have direct effects on testicular functions and spermatogenesis. Assessment of levels of serum gonadotropins from fathered subjects and infertile patients indicates wide range diversity. In this study, we tried to find out whether the levels of seminal FSH and LH affect the parameters of seminal fluid analysis (SFA) and if there is any correlation betwee...
