Hydrogen ions leave cells to balance pH, and potassium and calcium move
into cells, lowering blood levels.

Why calcium and potassium are low

in alkalosis:
3 Increase in albumin 4 Active transport

, Intracellular fluid (ICF) Inside cells (most fluid located in ICF).
Outside cells → includes plasma (blood) + interstitial
Extracellular fluid (ECF)
fluid (between cells).
Water moves where solute (like sodium/protein) is
Osmosis
higher.
Diffusion Particles move from high → low concentration.
Active transport Uses energy to move substances against the gradient.
Hydrostatic pressure Pushes more fluid OUT of capillaries → can cause
increase edema (swelling).
Oncotic (osmotic) Pulls MORE fluid into capillaries → less swelling.
pressure increase
Oncotic (osmotic) Pulls LESS fluid into capillaries → fluid stays out →
pressure decrease edema.
Not enough protein to pull fluid back into blood →
Low albumin
fluid stays in tissues.
Blocked vein raises pressure → fluid pushed out into
Venous obstruction
tissues.
Lymphatic obstruction Fluid cannot drain away → fluid builds up.
Increased capillary Leaky capillaries let fluid and proteins out → swelling.
permeability
Raises oncotic pressure & pulls more fluid into the
Increase in albumin
blood vessels, reducing edema.
Lowers oncotic pressure & causes fluid to stay in the
Decrease in albumin
tissues, leading to edema.
Blood osmolality increase Water moves out of the cells into the blood, and the
when cells shrink.
Blood osmolality Water moves into the cells, and the cells swell.
