Despite a 2.3% weight loss in 10 men who ran 10 miles, extracellular water (ECW) increased by 3.5%. Total body water (TBW) measured as tritium space increased by 2.4%, and intracellular water (ICW), inferred as the difference between TBW and ECW, increased by 1.8%. The increase in tritium space probably represents increased nonaqueous hydrogen exchange in the postexercise period ond casts doubt on the validity of TBW and ICW when measured immediately after exercise.

Abstract Background and Aims One of the major symptoms of severe nephrotic syndrome is fluid retention. Fluid overload can induce cardiovascular damage. NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide) and hsTnT (high sensitivity troponin T) are well known markers of this disorder. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between volumes of body water compartments and markers of cardiovascular damage in patients with severe nephrotic syndrome (SNS) defined as nephrotic range proteinuria and hypalbuminaemia ≤ 2.5 g/dl. Method 40 patients with SNS and eGFR >30 ml/min/1.73m2 formed the study group (SNSG) and 40 healthy volunteers without SNS matched according to age, sex, height, body mass and kidney function formed the control group (CG). In all participants serum creatinine, serum albumin concentration, daily proteinuria, hsTnT and NT-proBNP were measured. Body water compartments such as extracellular water (ECW), intracellular water (ICW), total body water (TBW), overhydration (OH) were assessed using Body Composition Monitor, Fresenius Medical Care. For statistical analysis Spearman’s correlation coefficients, chi2 or Mann-Whitney U tests were used (Statistica v 13.1). Results SNSG included 28 males (70%) and 12 females. Median age was 55 years (IQR 30-65), the mean daily proteinuria was 10.5 ±5.0 g. The characteristics of the study parameters in two groups are described in the table. Significantly higher hsTnT (18 vs 6 ng/l, p=0.0001) and NT-proBNP (294.8 vs 47.1 pg/ml, p=0.0003) levels were observed in the severe nephrotic syndrome group in comparison (SNSG) to CG. In SNSG extracellular water was significantly higher (20.9 ±5,2 vs 17.4 ±3.3 L, p=0.001) and intracellular water (ICW) was significantly lower (18.9 ±5.2 vs 21.4 ±4.8 L, p=0.034) in comparison to CG. Interestingly total body water (TBW) did not differ between the groups (39.8 ±8.6 vs 38.8 ±7.7 L, p=0.603). Also overhydration which is a derivative of ECW, was higher in SNSG (OH: 4.2 vs 0.3 L, p<0.0001) than in CG. Significant, positive correlation was observed between OH and NT-proBNP (R=0.56, p<0.0001) as well as hsTnT (R=0.60, p<0.0001). We did not observed significant correlation between ECW and NT-proBNP or hsTnT. Conclusion In the severe nephrotic syndrome group fluid retention was associated with the increase in ECW and the decrease in ICW whereas TBW was the same in both groups. Such constellation can indicate for intracellular underhydration which was not describe so far. Overhydration, which is a derivative of ECW, positively correlated with markers of cardiovascular damage and can be important for patients with resistant SNS and can influence their prognosis.

Gh Deficiency In Adults

Abstract GH has a strong influence on body composition. However, the effects of GH deficiency in adults on water compartments are not well understood. Therefore, extracellular water (ECW) and total body water were independently determined by deuterium and bromide dilution and by bioimpedance spectrometry in GH-deficient (GHD) adults and compared to those in controls, matched for age, sex, body weight, and height. The results show that the percent body fat was significantly (P < 0.05) higher, and total body water and intracellular water (ICW) were significantly lower in GHD adults for males, females, and both sexes combined. ECW was not significantly different between the two groups. ECW/ICW in GHD adults (0.42 ± 0.03) was significantly (P < 0.01) higher than that in controls (0.39 ± 0.02). There was a significant positive relation between the ECW/ICW ratio and the percent body fat. These results were confirmed by the bioimpedance spectrometry measurements.

ABSTRACT The total body water as well as the distribution of water in the extracellular and intracellular compartments was determined in 23 infants born to diabetic mothers (diab. infants) and 15 infants born to normal mothers (normal infants). The total body water was determined by the dilution method using heavy water, and the extracellular water by the dilution method using thiosulphate. Intracellular water was calculated as total water less extracellular water. The analytical methods are described. Diab. infants proved to have a mean total body water of 2.48 litres or 70.2 per cent of the body weight, a mean extracellular water content of 1.41 litre or 38.5 per cent of the body weight, and a mean intracellular water content of 1.16 litre or 31.8 per cent of the body weight. Normal infants had a mean total body water of 2.58 litres or 78.2 per cent of the body weight, a mean extracellular water content of 1.53 litre or 44.9 per cent of the body weight, and a mean intracellular water content of 1.12 litre or 33.5 per cent of the body weight. The reduction in total and extracellular water in the diab. infants is statistically significant, whereas that of intracellular water is more doubtful. The reduction in total body water means that diab. infants are obese. A marked decrease in total as well as extracellular water without a substantial decrease in intracellular water cannot be due to obesity alone, since fat is assumed to contain more extracellular than intracellular water. Increased deposition of glycogen, which binds water in the cells and constitutes an intermediate product in the transformation of glucose to fat, can explain, when also considering the obesity, the reduction in total and extracellular water without a simultaneous decrease of intracellular water. Considering the influence of insulin, corticosteroids and growth hormone on the body composition, the author concludes that the changes found in the body composition of newborn infants of diabetic mothers (obesity + presumably increased glycogen) may be assumed to be due to maternal hyperglycaemia with consequent foetal hyperglycaemia + hyperinsulinism, but not to an action of maternal growth hormone. In other words, the result supports the so-called hyperglycaemia hypothesis as the cause of the increased weight and changed body composition of the newborn infants of diabetic women.

Total body water (TBW) and intracellular water (ICW = TBW minus extracellular water), when related to fat-free body mass (FFB), were recently observed to remain stable in healthy aged men and women. To expand these findings, a group of male Sprague-Dawley rats was followed from weaning to death. The design minimized several perturbations common to aging studies. At about 100-day intervals from 297 to 888 days, representative animals were killed for chemical studies. TBW/FFB was stable from 362 to 715 days, then significantly higher at 800 and 888 days. Extracellular water content of the fat-free body (ECW/FFB) increased significantly during middle life (362--579 days), then remained stable through 888 days. Changes of ICW/FFB were not significant. Aside from a uniquely higher value at 638 days, protein content did not differ significantly at any age. The stability of these major constituents suggested approximate maintenance of cell mass in healthy rats at late ages, a conclusion supported by additional observations of this colony and of an aged human population. We are unable to confirm the hypothesis that loss of FFB is part of the normal aging process.

Aims: To investigate the relationship between extracellular water to total body water ratio (ECW/TBW) in bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and clinical parameters in hepatitis viruses related to liver diseases. Methods: ECW/TBW was compared in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV, n = 85) and hepatitis C virus (HCV, n = 440) related liver diseases. We also examined factors linked to mild to severe overhydrated state (ECW/TBW ≥0.4). Results: The median ECW/TBW in the HCV group was 0.388 (range, 0.365–0.433), while that in the HBV group was 0.381 (range, 0.363–0.425) (p < 0.0001). In all cases (n = 525), for predicting F3 or more, ECW/TBW yielded the area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUROC, 0.74912) and for predicting F4, ECW/TBW yielded the AUROC (0.75517). Multivariate analysis showed that age, prothrombin time, serum albumin, and alanine aminotransferase were significant factors linked to ECW/TBW ≥0.4. In patients with FIB-4 index <2, ECW/TBW in the HCV group was significantly higher than that in the HBV group (p = 0.0188), while in patients with 2 ≤ FIB-4 index <4 and FIB-4 index ≥4, the difference in the two groups did not reach significance. Conclusion: ECW/TBW can be different according to hepatitis viruses. Overhydrated status can easily occur in the HCV group even in the non-LC status compared with the HBV group.

I would like to comment on the article by J. C. Sinclair, et al. (Pediatrics, 39:724, 1967), "Metabolic Reference Standards for the Neonate." In the course of my work on the composition of the human organism, I also found the difference weight-extracellular fluid (= W-ECF). The fact that the composition of W-ECF is a rather constant one may be seen from the following calculation: if total body water content is assumed to be 71% of body mass with newborn and 61% with male adults, it follows that the proportion of intracellular water in W-ECF remains almost unchanged during growth.

The distribution of water in the different body compartments were determined in the adult male Indian camels with one hump. The average distributions were as follows: serum volume, 5.9% of body wt.; blood volume, 8.3% of body wt.; total body water (urea space), 68.7% of body wt.; extracellular water (thiocyanate space), 23.3% of body wt.; intracellular water, 45.4% of body wt.; and interstitial water, 17.4% of body wt. The serum and blood volumes of the camel were higher than similar values in other ruminants. When these values were compared with similar values in man, it was observed that the camel had significantly higher serum volumes, total body water, and intracellular water volumes. The capacity of the camel to hold more water might help the animal in withstanding the deprivation of water for a prolonged period in comparison to other animals.

Normal values for both total body water and extracellular water have been determined in 86 premature infants aged 1 to 90 days and weighing 940 to 2,435 gm, with use of the techniques of deuterium oxide and bromide dilution. Nine full-term infants aged 1 to 6 days and weighing 2,590 to 4,985 gm were similarly studied. Nine infants with the respiratory distress syndrome and eight infants of toxemic mothers studied in the first 24 hours of life showed no significant difference in their body water compartments in comparison to a control group of normal infants matched for age and weight. Seven infants of diabetic mothers studied in the first 24 hours of life showed a significant decrease in total body water, expressed as percentage of body weight, with a normal intracellular to extracellular water ratio. These data indirectly support other evidence that there is an increase in body fat in these infants at birth. See Table in the PDF file
