Introduction:
The proper composition and balance of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base are required to regulate the cellular functions of the body. The urinary system,
Fluid balance: Equal maintenance of fluid gain and loss, and proper distribution of fluid in the body.
Electrolyte balance: Equal maintenance of absorbed electrolytes by the small intestine and loss of electrolytes through the urine in the body.
Acid-base balance: Maintenance of the stable body pH.
