Fluid Balance

Balance:
 Fluid Balance:
 When the water coming into the body precisely
equals the water being lost by the body each day.
 Electrolyte Balance:
 Gains and losses of electrolytes are equal.
 Acid-base balance:
 When the production of H+ is precisely offset by
H+ loss and/ or HCO3- production.
