Q

Summarize some of the recent controversies associated with the use of 0.9% sodium chloride in hospitalized human patients. What is the proposed mechanism for acute kidney injury (AKI) after administration of 0.9% NaCl?

A

Large volumes can lead to hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis results in greater extravascular expansion, increasing risk for interstitial edema. May also see hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis due to chloride load, AKI with reduced urine output, damaged vascular permeability and stiffness, increased in proinflammatory mediators, detrimental gastrointestinal perfusion and function.
Renal vasoconstriction and reduced GFR resulting in NaCl retention and water retention.
When compared to a balanced electrolyte solution has been shown to result in significantly increased in hospital mortality in critically ill people.

Q

0.9% sodium chloride is commonly called “physiologic” saline. What are three reasons why “physiologic” saline is considered a misnomer?

A
  • Cl level is much higher than physiologic values
  • pH is lower (5.0) than physiologic pH 7.4
  • NaCl are not the only electrolytes that matter in a physiological basis such as K, Ca, MG
