How is fluid balance maintained in the body?
Fluid balance is highly regulated and dependent on several essential minerals—sodium and chloride ions in extracellular fluid, and potassium and phosphate ions in intracellular fluid. To maintain the right balance of ions, cells make frequent adjustments by moving electrolytes into or out of cells. Plasma proteins (albumin) help maintain healthy fluid distribution between intravascular and interstitial compartments.
