Core Tip	States of hypertonicity cause transfer of fluid from inside the body cells into the fluid compartment surrounding the cells. The shrinking of the brain cells in hypertonicity causes severe manifestations and even death. The management of hypertonicity requires administration of intravenous solutions. The volume and the composition of the administered solutions are calculated by various equations. Close monitoring of the condition of the patient and frequent measurements of appropriate blood chemistries during treatment are critical steps for a favorable outcome. The two major states of hypertonicity are hypernatremia, an elevation of the concentration of sodium in the blood, and hyperglycemia, an elevation of the concentration of glucose in the blood. The management of severe hypertonicity in hypernatremia and hyperglycemia encounters different obstacles and requires different equations for the quantitative replacement of body fluid deficits.
