Objectives: To report our data on the total body water (TBW), intracellular volume (ICV), extracellular volume (ECV), and fat-free mass (FFM) from studies using whole-body bioimpedance (BIA) with the aim of contrasting them to commonly cited reference values.
Methods: Data were retrospectively retrieved from three single-center studies of adult healthy male volunteers and one study of women scheduled for abdominal hysterectomy where multifrequency BIA had been applied to obtain measurements of TBW, ICV, ECV, and FFM.
Results: Based on measurements performed in 44 males, the TBW, ICV, ECV, and FFM represented 49.1 (4.9)%, 23.32 (3.1)%, 25.8 (2.2)%, and 67.4 (7.4)% of the BW, respectively (mean, SD). In 15 females, these volumes were 40.4 (4.5)%, 18.0 (2.1)%, 22.4 (2.6)%, and 55.6 (6.1)% per kg BW, respectively. The deviation of these measurements from the reference values increased linearly with body weight and age.
Conclusions: Body fluid volumes indicated by BIA showed that TBW amounted to 80% of the reference volume, which is 60% per kg BW in adult males. The ratio between the ICV and the ECV was approximately 1:1, while this ratio is traditionally reported to be 2:1.

Is the NICE Guideline for maintenance fluid therapy in adults in hospital appropriate?

Background And Aims: The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence's (NICE) Guideline for Maintenance Fluid Therapy in Adults in Hospital is widely used, but the recommendations have not been evaluated properly. In this study, we investigated whether the recommendation of providing 25-30 mL/kg/day of fluid and 1 mmol/kg each of sodium and potassium is sufficient for human needs.
Methods: First, we calculated the distribution of fluid between the extracellular fluid volume (ECV) and intracellular fluid volume (ICV) during a cross-over infusion experiment where 12 volunteers received 25 mL/kg/day of either a high-sodium (154 mmol/L) or low-sodium (54 mmol/L) solution over 48 h.

Purpose: We developed a method to measure the extracellular and intracellular fluid volumes using the kinetics of uric acid in the bodies of Japanese patients undergoing dialysis. In this research, we aimed to assess the prognosis of vascular events using this uric acid kinetic model method.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 1,298 patients who were undergoing hemodialysis or predilution online hemodiafiltration at the end of December 2019 at 13 institutions in Japan.

Background And Aims: The extracellular and intracellular fluid volumes (ECV and ICV) vary not only with age, gender, and body weight but also with the habitual intake of water. The present study examines whether the baseline variations in the ECV and ICV change the distribution and elimination of subsequently given infusion fluids.
Material And Methods: Twenty healthy male volunteers underwent 50 infusion experiments with crystalloid fluid for which the fluid volume kinetics was calculated based on frequent measurements of the hemodilution using mixed-effects modeling software.

Diagnosis of fluid overload (FO) in early stage is essential to manage fluid balance of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the identification of fluid status in patients with CKD is largely dependent on the physician's clinical acumen. The ratio of fluid overload to extracellular volume (FO/ECV) has been used as a reference to assess fluid status.

Background: The extracellular volume (ECV) and intracellular volume (ICV) estimated by bioimpedance analysis (BIA) deviates markedly from the textbook volumes of 20% and 40% of the body weight (BW). We estimated the transcellular exchange of water by calculating solute equilibriums after fluid challenges to examine whether the BIA or the textbook volumes are likely to be most correct.
Methods: Data was retrieved from 8 healthy male volunteers who received 25 mL/kg of Ringer's solution or 3-5 mL/kg of hypertonic (7.
