Tangram of Sodium and Fluid Balance.

ABSTRACT: Homeostasis of fluid and electrolytes is a tightly controlled physiological process. Failure of this process is a hallmark of hypertension, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and other acute and chronic diseases. While the kidney remains the major player in the control of whole-body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis, recent discoveries point toward more peripheral mechanisms leading to sodium storage in tissues, such as skin and muscle, and a link between this sodium and a range of diseases, including the conditions above. In this review, we describe multiple facets of sodium and fluid balance from traditional concepts to novel discoveries. We examine the differences between acute disruption of sodium balance and the longer term adaptation in chronic disease, highlighting areas that cannot be explained by a kidney-centric model alone. The theoretical and methodological challenges of more recently proposed models are discussed. We acknowledge the different roles of extracellular and intracellular spaces and propose an integrated model that maintains fluid and electrolyte homeostasis and can be distilled into a few elemental players: the microvasculature, the interstitium, and tissue cells. Understanding their interplay will guide a more precise treatment of conditions characterized by sodium excess, for which primary aldosteronism is presented as a prototype.

Project description:BackgroundSodium lactate has been shown to improve hemodynamics and avoid fluid overload. The objective of this study was to confirm a beneficial effect on fluid balance with sodium lactate infusion and to specify whether the advantage of lactate is related to a negative chloride balance, its particular metabolism, or simply its energy load.MethodsThis was an interventional, randomized, open-label, controlled experimental study. Fifteen female "large white" pigs (2 months old) were challenged with intravenous infusion of Escherichia coli endotoxin. Three groups of five animals were randomly assigned to receive different fluids: a treatment group received sodium lactate 11.2% (SL group); an isotonic control group received 0.9% NaCl (NC group); and a hypertonic control group, with the same amount of osmoles and sodium as the SL group, received sodium bicarbonate 8.4% (SB group). In order to provide the same energy load in the three groups, control groups were perfused with an equivalent energy supply. Statistical analysis was performed with non-parametric tests and the Dunn correction for multiple comparisons at p < 0.05.ResultsFluid and chloride balance, hemodynamics, oxygenation markers, and microcirculatory parameters were measured over a 5-h period. Cumulative fluid balance was significantly lower in the SL group (550 (415-800) mL; median (interquartile range)) compared to the NC group (1100 (920-1640) mL, p = 0.01) and the SB group (935 (790-1220) mL, p = 0.03). Hemodynamics, cardiac efficiency, and microcirculation were significantly enhanced in the SL group, resulting in a significant improvement in oxygen delivery (SL group 417 (305-565) mL/min/m2 at 300 min versus the NC (207 (119-272) mL/min/m2, p = 0.01) and the SB (278, (211-315) mL/min/m2, p = 0.03) groups). Oxygenation markers (arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2)/inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2), mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2), and venoarterial carbon dioxide tension difference (Pv-aCO2) were enhanced with sodium lactate infusion. Chloride balance was equivalent in both hypertonic groups and significantly reduced compared to the NC group.ConclusionSodium lactate infusion improves fluid balance and hemodynamics. The advantage of lactate does not seem to be explained by its energy load or by the induced negative chloride balance with subsequent water movements.
