Blood volume must be restored in a person who has lost large amounts of blood due to serious injury. This is often accomplished by infusing isotonic NaCl solution into the blood. Why is this more effective than infusing an isoosmotic solution of a penetrating solute, such as urea?
You have a solution of 0.30 M urea. Urea is a penetrating molecule.
If you place red blood cells into this solution predict what would happen to the red blood cells (stay same, crenated, lysed).
Determine:
1. the osmolarity of 0.30 M urea. Red blood cells are 0.3 Osmolar.
2. apperance/effect on RBC
3. tonicity
Patient with dehydration was started on fluid therapy. If 5% dextrose is isoosmotic to plasma what effect would infusion of 1L of a 10% dextrose solution have on ECF and ICF volumes? How it would affect body fluid osmolality of a 70 kg individual and why?
