| Proud to know how to handle oliguria in a baby, I checked his blood pressure and electrolytes. |
| The main aim of the treatment is to replace the lost fluids and electrolytes in the body. |
| Loss of glucose in the urine causes osmotic diuresis, increasing urinary losses of electrolytes and water. |
| Initially, the ammonia and carbon dioxide reacts with water to form the weak electrolytes, ammonium hydroxide and carbonic acid. |
| This is an opportunity to take blood for checking full blood count, urea and electrolytes, blood group, and clotting screen. |
| As the electrolytes shift out of the cells, fluid shifts into the cells so that the tonicity matches that of the extracellular space. |
