Neonatal Water and Electrolyte Metabolism

  • Chapter

Abstract

Water composes over 60% of all body matter in the adult, and close to 80% in the neonate.1,2 Water serves as the vehicle to carry nutrients to the body’s cells and remove its waste materials. The distribution of water determines the size of the body fluid compartments, and with water concentration, establishes the physiochemical milieu that allows cellular work to occur. Thus, water metabolism is integral to all life functions. This comprehensive review of water metabolism in the neonate, encompasses cellular regulation, cardiac and vascular physiology, as well as renal, neurologic, and hormonal functions.
