Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pure saline deficit refers to a loss of isotonic fluid (containing normal salt concentration) from the body. This would lead to a decrease in total body volume, but not necessarily a change in serum sodium concentration. Therefore, patients with pure saline deficit can have normal serum sodium concentrations.
