ECFV
Molecular classification
Physiological Parameter
01

Overview

Extracellular fluid volume (ECFV) refers to the total volume of all body fluids located outside the cells. It is a crucial physiological parameter for maintaining homeostasis, facilitating nutrient and waste transport, and ensuring adequate organ perfusion. ECFV is not a molecule or receptor but a critical body compartment regulated by kidneys and hormones. Disturbances in ECFV lead to various clinical conditions, including hypovolemia, edema, and shock.
