How does the body maintain electrolyte balance?

- The body maintains electrolyte balance through various mechanisms: - Kidneys: Regulation of electrolyte levels, primarily sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, through filtration, reabsorption, and excretion in urine (1). - Intestines: Absorption and excretion of electrolytes, mainly sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate, in response to the body's requirements (2). - Hormonal regulation: Hormones such as aldosterone, antidiuretic hormone (ADH), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) help control electrolyte balance by affecting the reabsorption or excretion of specific ions (3). - Reabsorption and secretion in sweat glands: Regulation of electrolyte loss, especially sodium and chloride, during physical activity and sweating (4). - Fluid intake and thirst mechanism: Maintaining proper hydration is essential for electrolyte balance, and the body's thirst mechanism helps regulate fluid intake based on the body's needs (5). - Acid-base balance: Electrolyte regulation is closely linked to maintaining the acid-base balance in the body by regulating the concentration of hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions (6).
