Hypoproteinemia.  In protein malnutrition, you end up not having enough albumin in your blood.  The decreased oncotic pressure will result in your intravascular volume third-spacing into the tissues.\n\nYou will also get some sodium retention.  The decrease in intravascular volume will result in activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which will result in sodium retention.\n\nI think the effect of the hypoproteinemia will be much greater than the sodium retention though.

sodium/ potassium pump is what enables any living cell that thrives in water media (that includes all human cells) to keep an isotonic concentration of the positivelly charged sodium ion vs. its counteractive potassium equivally monocharged cation. This is insured by an active transmission of the potassium cation into the cell, with the concurring release of the sodium cation out of the cell, against all principle of osmotic pressure. This requires important usage of energy, as supplied by the continuous Krebs cycle, generating the higher energy levelled ATP. This pump is always active and its dysfunctionment will result into the misconcentration of the solutes in the cell, that will be fatal

Since the ions are slightly unbalanced between the outside and inside of the cell, a membrane potential develops.  Na/K ATPase continously pumps Na out of the cell and K into the cell, so that the K concentration is aobut 30x bigger inside than outside and Na is about 20x less inside the cell.  and it's an active transport (ATPase...).if it werent' there, it would lead to a flattening of the ion gradient and the membrane potential would break down

salt helps maintain water in the body

Sodium can cause the body to retain water.If your kidneys can't eliminate enough sodium, the sodium starts to accumulate in your blood. Because sodium attracts and holds water, your blood volume increases. Increased blood volume, in turn, makes your heart work harder to move more blood through your blood vessels, increasing pressure in your arteries. Certain diseases such as congestive heart failure, cirrhosis and chronic kidney disease can lead to an inability to regulate sodium.\n\nYour body needs some sodium to function properly. \nIt helps maintain the right balance of fluids in your body \nAssists in transmission of nerve impulses \nIt influences the contraction and relaxation of muscles

There are many ways in which these two systems work together to maintain homeostasis but let's keep it simple if we can...\nBy excretory system I imagine you are referring to the kidneys, ureter, bladder, etc. This system receives about a quarter of the blood volume from each stroke of the heart, and filters out the impurities and excess water from the bloodstream. By doing this the kidneys (along with the lungs) help to maintain the pH of the blood (maintain the acid to base balance.) If the pH varies too much then the person's life could be in danger. By removing excess minerals from the body the kidneys also prevent potential life-threatening problems from occurring. For example, if you have too much potassium in your body, even though it is necessary to have some, your heart could stop. \nBy removing excess water from the blood, along with producing certain hormones, the kidneys also help blood pressure from getting too high or low. A healthy heart and blood vessels also contribute to maintaining blood pressure by constricting and expanding the vessels, and by changing the rate of your pulse. Hope this helps some...

It's very similar to the nephron in the kidneys. Basically, the colon absorbs water along with sodium and can secret potassium if need be.

Aldosterone is secreted in response to low extracellular sodium and acts on the distal tubule to increase the reabsorption of sodium from the urinary filtrate. I'm not sure where on the distal tubule though, if that's what you're asking...

excretory-filters the blood of toxic nitrogenous wastes from amino acid digestion, specifically urea, ammonia and uric acid in verbebrates. Kidney primarily does this job. It also maintains electrolyte and water homeostasis\n\nnervous- transmission of motor, sensory and integrative nerve impulses and action ptotentials throughout the body via brain, spinal cord and nerves to assist in homeostasis of many systems\n\nendocrin- production and secretion of hormones to be sent thru the blood to all cells of the body; works with the nervous system to maintain many forms of homeostasis\n\ndigestive- ingestion, mechanical and chemical digestion and absorption of nutirents (proteins, fats, carbs converted to amino acids, glucose, fatty acids) so that cells can utilize the smaller molecules for human metabolism, growth and misc homeostatic mechanism; digestive system will then eliminate any non-digested, non-absorbable wastes.

Have you tries a cardiac or diabetic diet?  Limit the amount of salt in take,  Will show as sodium on lables.  If you are retaining fluid try to limit the salt to no salt or 2 grams per day

The amount of urine we make is dependent upon the amount of water and salts in our body.\nThe relative amount of salts and water in our body must be regulated and kept steady.\nOur kidneys adjust the amount of salt and water in our body.\nToo much salt or not enough water makes us feel thirsty and we drink.\nToo much water for the amount of salt inside us and our kidneys dump the water into urine.\nThe most variable process affecting the salt/water balance (apart from eating and drinking) is sweating. If we lose a lot of water as we sweat a lot during hot weather then there is less water put into urine. When it is cold we don't sweat much so the extra water is lost in urine.\n\nThe habit of eating salted crisps and peanuts developed from a marketing idea in pubs. Provide free crisp and peanuts on the bar and customers eat lots of salt. This makes us feel thirsty so we buy more drinks.

The responses of microorganisms to growth-inhibiting salt concentrations have been studied extensively. In a number of cases, the effects of both salt and sugar stress on the accumulation of individual compatible solutes such as K+ and glycine betaine have been determined. However, only in a few studies have the osmolytes accumulated in salt-stressed cells been compared with those in sugar (nonionic)-stressed cells
