BLOOD VOLUME: IMPORTANCE AND ADAPTATIONS TO EXERCISE TRAINING, ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSES, AND TRAUMA/SICKNESS.

This paper reviews the influence of several perturbations (physical exercise, heat stress, terrestrial altitude, microgravity, and trauma/sickness) on adaptations of blood volume (BV), erythrocyte volume (EV), and plasma volume (PV). Exercise training can induce BV expansion: PV expansion usually occurs immediately, but EV expansion takes weeks. EV and PV expansion contribute to aerobic power improvements [...]

WATER TURNOVER AND BODY COMPOSITION DURING LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO HIGH ALTITUDE (4,900A–7,600 M).

Thirteen healthy subjects (11 men and 2 women; 30.2 +/- 5.4 yr; 73.5 +/- 10.3 kg; 178.9 +/- 10.4 cm; body mass index, 22.9 +/- 1.6 kg/m2) participated at the 62-day expedition to the Broad Peak (8,047 m), Pakistan. Weight, body water, and water turnover (deuterium dilution and elimination) were measured eight times to assess [...]

Systemic diseases associated with disorders of water homeostasis.

Disorders of AVP secretion and action sometimes present as the first manifestation of a variety of different systemic diseases. It is prudent for the clinician to consider these causes in the differential diagnosis of hypoosmolar hyponatremia, polyuria and polydipsia, since recognizing the underlying disorder may affect treatment decisions, and intervention directed at the primary disorder [...]

Water metabolism disturbances at different stages of primary thyroid failure.

The aim of the present study was to study salt and water metabolism in thyroid deficiency. We performed an oral water loading test (OWL) and a hypertonic 5% saline infusion test (HSI) in 16 patients with overt primary hypothyroidism before replacement treatment (PRE group) and after, in eight patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SUB group) and [...]
