The maintenance of a relatively constant volume and stable composition of the body fluids is essential for homeostasis. Some of the most common and important problems in clinical medicine arise because of abnormalities in the control systems that maintain this relative constancy of the body fluids. In this chapter and in the following chapters on the kidneys, we discuss overall regulation of body fluid volume, constituents of the extracellular fluid, acid–base balance, and control of fluid exchange between extracellular and intracellular compartments.
